Abstract
You are called to see a neonate in respiratory distress. The obstetric history and birth were uncomplicated. You are told that the neonate became distressed and cyanotic soon after birth. The cyanosis appeared to settle on crying but resumed when crying stopped. Currently there is an oropharyngeal airway in situ, the neonate appears well and settled. Nasal mist test is negative, and bilateral choanal atresia is seen on flexible nasendoscopy.
