ABSTRACT
Bilateral choanal atresia is an otorhinolaryngology emergency. It is a potentially life-threatening disorder because the affected newborn is an obligate nose breather. We report clinical and radiological evaluation of a patient with congenital bilateral choanal atresia, who presented at the 20-year of age with other congenital anomalies. Patient was diagnosed as congenital bilateral choanal atresia, right accessory nasal deformity, high arched palate with congenital phthisis bulbi of his left eye. He was posted for transnasal endoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. Unique feature of this case is left congenital phthisis bulbi along with bilateral congenital choanal atresia probably the first case report having both anomalies in a single patient. While performing surgery, we should carefully study the anatomy of the basisphenoid, as in our case we did not attempt to correct atresia on right side.
