Kim, Lee, Rho, Oh, Kim, Kim, Han, and Ahn: A Pitfall in the Diagnosis of Bilateral Choanal Atresia: A Case Report

Abstract

Choanal atresia is a rare congenital anomaly involving unilateral or bilateral posterior nasal choanal obstruction. Multiple associated anomalies have been described. We describe the case of a 1-month-old boy with bilateral choanal atresia, misdiagnosed after CT as a midline meningocele because the floor of the midline anterior cranial fossa was not ossified and secretion had accumulated in the obstructed posterior nasal choana.
