Congenital choanal atresia is uncommon anomaly. Many approaches have been used to repair
congenital atresia. Transnasal endoscopic repair of choanal atresia is a safe and successful
technique. The stent has been a part of the postoperative management of choanal atresia to
maintain patency after choanal atresia repair. The various different materials has been described
for stent; such as portex; silicon; silastic and polyethylene. We describe 26-year-old male
patient of congenital choanal atresia treated with nasal ballooning stent which is made up of
modified endo-tracheal tube. At follow up; 12 months after operation; there was no evidence of
restenosis. The literature has been reviewed. |
