Congenital nasal stenosis in newborn infants

J Pediatr. 1992 Jan;120(1):124-7. doi: 10.1016/s0022-3476(05)80615-8.

Abstract

Five newborn infants with evidence of nasal obstruction were shown to have congenital nasal stenosis. Conservative treatment, including temporary nasopharyngeal intubation in three, eventually resulted in symptomatic relief, so that surgery could be avoided.
