Bilateral congenital choanal atresia.
Our experience with the diagnosis and management of bilateral choanal atresia is presented. Four patients were treated by endoscopic transnasal approach followed by stenting with portex endotracheal tube for four to six weeks. Meticulous postoperative care particularly stent management is crucial for successful treatment of choanal atresia.
