Choanal atresia

Choanal atresia is a congenital disorder where the back of the nasal passage (choana) is blocked, usually by abnormal bony or soft tissue (membranous) due to failed recanalization of the nasal fossae during fetal development. It was first described by Roederer in 1755. [Source: Wikipedia ]
