Pediatric Congenital Nasal Disorders

Pediatric congenital nasal disorders are conditions present at birth that affect the structure of a child’s nose or nasal passages. These disorders can lead to breathing difficulties, unusual nose shape, or issues with nasal function. Examples include choanal atresia, where the back of the nasal passage is blocked, and nasal deformities like a cleft nose. Early diagnosis and treatment are important for ensuring proper breathing and development. Management may involve surgery or other interventions to improve the child's quality of life and overall health.
