Article Synopsis
- - Congenital Choanal Artesia (CCA) is a rare but serious condition where the nasal passage is blocked, which can be especially dangerous for newborns, leading to required systematic screening for associated abnormalities.
- - A study analyzed the surgical management of 22 cases of bilateral CCA using a minimally invasive endoscopic technique, with surgeries performed on newborns aged between 8 to 21 days, and an average procedure time of about 90 minutes.
