“…The cyanosis is relieved if baby cries because during crying there is co-occurrence of breathing [7] . In contrast to bilateral choanal atresia unilateral choanal atresia present in relatively subtle ways and many cases of unilateral choanal atresia go unnoticed because of rarity of the condition and unfamiliarity with the symptoms [8,9] .…”

Abstract. In the last decades, rhinology has developed in a great manner concerning new surgical techniques and extending the use of compatible biomaterials in order to achieve normal morphology and normal functional aspect after surgery (endoscopic or open approach). Since biomaterials are integrated in biological active organs and systems, they have to be easily accepted by the receiver with no toxicity, inflammation or other side effects. The authors try to review all biocompatible materials used in several rhinological pathologies in order to obtain the best results after functional or reconstructive surgery. In rhinological surgery there are usually used homograft's but the use of biomaterials like alloplastics (silicone, high density polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, etc.) has widely increased. The authors present their experience in endoscopic approach of choanal atresia using nasal stents, closure techniques for septal perforation using nasal splints, endoscopic drainage and sinus ventilation using balloon sinuplasty, lacrimal pathway obstruction using double margin stent and some materials used in cosmetic and reconstructive rhinoplasty.

“…The differential diagnosis of the unilateral choanal atresia firstly includes the chronic adenoiditis (an important percentage of the patients suffering from choanal imperforation have undergone surgical procedures for adenoidectomy), followed by pyriform aperture stenosis, cyst of nasolacrimal duct, hypertrophy of inferior nasal turbinates, nasal septum deviation, antro-choanal polyp or nasal tumor formations [8].…”

Abstract. Choanal atresia is the most frequent nasal congenital malformation, which, depending on the unilateral or bilateral location, has a different symptomatology. The diagnosis is confirmed through the patient's medical history, nasal endoscopy and imagistic examination (computed tomography). The treatment is surgical and aims the (fibrous and bone) tissue disintegration which blocks the choana, and is performed through endoscopic surgical techniques. The blocked area is maintained functional by mounting a stent at the choanal tunnel level. The authors aim to describe their own experience regarding both the diagnoses as well as the treatment of this pathology, the results being compared to those from the quoted literature. The surgical technique differs depending on the type of choanal atresia: bone or membranous. The duration to maintain a fix position of the stent and the material used for the stent represent the variables which provide the success of the endoscopic surgical intervention of the choanal atresia. Subsequently, the patient is followed up at 2, 6, 12 months in the first year and then annually until 18 years of age. Choanal atresia is solved through endoscopic surgical techniques by mounting a silicone stent which shall be maintained in position for a minimum period of 3 months. The endoscopic approach of the unilateral choanal imperforation is the method of choice with minimum complications, increased success rate and fast recovery.
