Book Chapter Description

A patent nasal airway is crucial for normal neonatal respiration. Any functional or anatomic obstruction can lead to significant respiratory distress necessitating immediate intervention. This chapter presents an overview of conditions causing neonatal airway obstruction, focusing on syndromes causing midfacial narrowing and nasal obstructive lesions. A brief overview of the embryologic development of the midface, and important general history and physical exam findings are also included for completeness. Discussion of pyriform aperture stenosis and choanal atresia will be covered in the following chapter.
