A bilateral congenital posterior choanal atresia case diagnosed at the age of 16 is presented. Although bilateral congenital choanal atresia causes acute life-threatening respiratory obstruction in newborns, this case was able to compensate by rapidly learning mouth breathing and the diagnosis did escape detection for years. The patient was treated successfully via transpalatal approach.
本文介绍了一例16岁时被诊断出的双侧先天性后鼻孔闭锁病例。虽然双侧先天性后鼻孔闭锁会在新生儿中导致危及生命的急性呼吸阻塞，但该病例通过迅速学会用口呼吸得以代偿，多年来诊断一直未被发现。患者通过经腭入路得到了成功治疗。
