Is posterior nostril atresia serious?

summary

My cousin said that she was a very good person with a good temper. As soon as her daughter was born, the doctor found that the baby was abnormal and could not breathe autonomously like a normal baby. Later, the doctor gave the baby a physical examination and found that the baby suffered from congenital atresia of the posterior nostril, so the baby could not breathe autonomously. Congenital atresia of the posterior nostril is a kind of congenital disease, which is caused by the embryo membrane of the posterior nostril of the fetus is not completely absorbed in the period of the child, and it is a curable disease.

Is posterior nostril atresia serious?

There are four ways to remove the atresia septum: through nasal cavity, through palate, through nasal septum, through maxillary sinus. It should be determined according to the age of the child, the degree of symptoms, the nature and thickness of the septum, and the general situation. For safety, tracheotomy should be performed first.

Note that after the birth of the newborn, if diagnosed as bilateral congenital posterior nostril atresia, should be treated according to the emergency, keep breathing unobstructed, prevent asphyxia, maintain nutrition. Take a rubber nipple, cut off its top, insert it into the mouth, fix it with noodles on the head, so as to facilitate oral breathing, and drip a small amount of milk through the nipple, and take out the nipple when the child is used to oral breathing.

Parents must pay attention to the main symptoms of congenital posterior nostril stenosis, such as nasal obstruction, white mucus, olfactory dysfunction and dyspnea. The degree of remission was related to the degree of atresia and age. At birth, the newborn will only breathe with nose within 3 weeks, but it is difficult to breathe with mouth. Children with congenital bilateral complete posterior nostril atresia will have severe dyspnea, cyanosis and even asphyxia after birth.

matters needing attention

Parents must understand that most patients can be cured by surgical treatment, but some patients can have atresia recurrence. It may be caused by insufficient expansion of the new posterior nostril during the operation and the failure of the mucosal flap to cover the wound effectively, resulting in the proliferation of granulation tissue.
