Congenital nasal stenosis in neonates.
Sixteen newborn infants with respiratory problems due to bony nasal obstruction were studied. In 14 patients no surgery was needed. In two patients surgery became necessary after a few months. Congenital narrowing of the nasal passage was unknown until recently. The origin of the disorder is discussed.
