Electric Response Audiometry

SummaryFOUR cases of bilateral congenital choanal atresia are presented. Three of them (75 per cent) were shown by Electric Response Audiometry (ERA) tests to have, in addition, congenital nerve deafness; and two had other congenital anomalies. Thus, congenital nerve deafness should be considered as a possible congenital anomaly associated with choanal atresia. Early diagnosis and treatment of congenital choanal atresia can prevent death from asphyxia during the neonatal period, but after surgical correction of the atresia the possible existence of additional anomalies has to be determined and treated.By the use of electric response audiometry we are able to detect sensorineural hearing loss during the neonatal period and can plan the rehabilitation of deaf infants.

Choanal atresia is a congenital condition that occurs due to developmental failure of nasal cavity to communicate with the nasopharynx. There can be both unilateral and bilateral occlusion, bony, soft tissue and both. It can present at birth or early in the neonatal period or even later in life. This case series included three patients, who were admitted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and they underwent surgical correction in the hospital. All these cases had different presentations and clinical course. First case was admitted for respiratory failure and sepsis and, later was diagnosed as bilateral choanal atresia. Second case was admitted at 17 days of life with diagnosis of Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE) and multiple extubation failure and later was diagnosed as unilateral choanal atresia. Third case had respiratory distress soon after birth and was referred with a diagnosis of suspected choanal atresia. It was confirmed as bilateral choanal atresia and the child improved after surgical correction. All three cases were out born and referred in the hospital at different postnatal ages with varied symptoms. The lessons learnt in management of first case helped in subsequent cases resulting in better outcome.

ABSTRACT Congenital choanal atresia (CCA) is characterized by narrowing of posterior nasal apertures in newborns present with nasal obstruction and respiratory difficulty. Although unilateral obstruction goes unnoticed at birth, bilateral case is an emergency situation because newborn is an obligate nasal breather. Here, we present an unusual case of bilateral choanal atresia in an 11-year-old girl, which is a rare finding. Surgical correction was done by transnasal approach using endoscopes and otological drill. How to cite this article Chandrashekharayya SH, Handi PS, Riyas M.

AbstractIntroduction:We report the first published description of transoral use of the transnasal flexible laryngoesophagoscope during surgical correction of choanal atresia.Case report:A four-month-old boy was referred to the ear, nose and throat department by his general practitioner with a two-week history of left-sided, watery, green, nasal discharge. A diagnosis of choanal atresia was made. The child underwent successful surgical correction which incorporated transoral use of a transnasal flexible laryngoesophagoscope.Discussion:When used transorally, the transnasal flexible laryngoesophagoscope's ability to provide omnidirectional visualisation together with high definition picture clarity significantly improves the operative field of view. This endoscope's incorporated suction and insufflation functions and its facility to pass extra instruments via the endoscope port are of particular advantage for this type of procedure.

Radiological Study

A series of 65 cases of choanal atresia seen in 19 years is reviewed. We use a wisp of cotton fiber held under the nose and a plastic catheter passed into each nasal cavity to test nasal patency. Horizontal computerized tomography is confirmed as the radiological study of choice, and a standard endoscopic technique used during surgical correction is described.
