Coexistence of choanal atresia and Tessier’s facial cleft number 2

Transnasal endoscopic repair of choanal atresia in a tertiary care centre: A review of outcomes

“…Choanal atresia may be associated with other congenital anomalies in up to 50% of the cases (syndromic CAs) while the other half are non-syndromic atresias [9]. The common congenital developmental disorders associated with CA include CHARGE syndrome, Treacher Collins syndrome, Tessier syndrome and Down syndrome.…”

CT evaluation of congenital choanal atresia: Our experience and review of the literature

“…2 One case reported in the literature was associated with the rarely encountered Tessier's facial cleft 2. 11 Amir and Dunham also reported a unique case of CCA associated with patent foramen caecum and intracranial extension of the dermoid sinuses. 12 One case of faciogenito popliteal syndrome presenting with bilateral choanal atresia and maxillary hypoplasia was reported by Vandeweyer et al 13 Bilateral CCA is a life-threatening condition in newborns.…”

Nonsyndromic alar clefts: Report of five Brazilian patients

“…Typical examples of this manifestation are seen in Patients 1–3 and in another 11 patients in the literature where the upper lip, nasal and orbital bones were spared [Newman and Burdi, 1981 (cases 1–3); Ortiz‐Monasterio et al, 1987 (Fig. 6); Shewmake and Kawamoto, 1992; Saraiya, 1996; Agrawal et al, 1998 (cases 1–3); Altuntas et al, 2004; Bilen and Kilinç, 2006]. Isolated nonsyndromic alar clefts with preserved bony structures but presenting small cysts or sinuses in the nasal midline are uncommon.…”
