Abstract
A term neonate developed respiratory distress, paradoxical cyanosis (relieved by crying) soon
after birth. Inability to insert No.5 French infant feeding tube through the nose into the pharynx
led to the diagnosis of Bilateral Choanal Atresia , which was confirmed by HRCT Scan
of the nose. Insertion of an oropharyngeal tube reduced the respiratory distress. Extensive
investigations did not reveal any other congenital anomaly. The baby was treated with
Transnasal Surgery.
