Abstract

Congenital unilateral choanal atresia (CA) is not considered an emergent condition and should not cause respiratory distress in the newborn. Therefore, surgical repair of unilateral CA is usually delayed. This description of a newborn with congenital unilateral CA that caused significant respiratory distress, recurrent cyanotic episodes, and severe feeding difficulties highlights an exception to that rule.
