Bilateral choanal atresia is a congenital anomaly which occurs immediately after birth and requires immediate intervention. Therefore, it is very rare to see a patient who has reached an advanced age. In this article, we report two cases (sisters) who were able to reach advanced ages with bilateral choanal atresia. In the light of these two adult cases, we aimed to review the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to bilateral choanal atresia with the literature.
双侧后鼻孔闭锁是一种出生后立即出现的先天性异常,需要立即干预。因此,很少见到患有双侧后鼻孔闭锁且年龄较大的患者。在本文中,我们报告了两例(姐妹)患有双侧后鼻孔闭锁却活到高龄的病例。基于这两例成人病例,我们旨在结合文献回顾双侧后鼻孔闭锁的诊断和治疗方法。
