Article information

Choanal atresia is an infrequent congenital malformation. Classically, 4 surgical approaches have been described for its treatment: transnasal, transpalatal, trans-septal, and transantral. Of these, transpalatal was preferred. In recent years, the progress in nasal endoscopy has led to reconsideration of the transnasal route as being less invasive and providing excellent results. The use of stents to prevent re-stenosis is a controversial issue. However, the application of substances such as mitomycin may offer decreased need for stenting by reducing the development of cicatrix tissue. We report the case of a patient with bilateral choanal atresia and its surgical treatment using nasal endoscopy with topical mitomycin.

We report the case of a patient with bilateral choanas atresia and the surgical treatment with topical mitomycin.

La atresia de coanas es una malformación congénita poco frecuente. Clásicamente se han descrito cuatro vías de abordaje para su corrección quirúrgica: transnasal, transpalatina, transeptal y endonasal. De todas ellas se consideraba de elección la vía transpalatina. En los últimos años, debido al avance de la endoscopia nasal, se impone la vía endonasal, por ser menos invasiva y proporcionar excelentes resultados. En cuanto al empleo de stents para prevenir las reestenosis, hay controversia; sin embargo, la aplicación coadyuvante de sustancias como la mitomicina nos permite prescindir de ellos y reducir la formación de tejido de cicatrización.

Presentamos el caso de un paciente con atresia de coanas bilateral y su manejo quirúrgico mediante cirugía endoscópica nasal con el empleo de mitomicina tópica.
