My visually impaired 12 year old has Choanal Atresia, can it be repaired?

Question

She is visually impaired but does not have any "syndrome". She really wants to be able to breathe through her nose. We have seen and ENT specialist but she never called me back with a referral and didn't remember who we were when I finally called her. We live in Las Vegas and would like to have it done locally if possible. Please if there is a Dr. out there let me know if we have any hope. Thank you in advance!!

Answer 1

Choanal Atresia can be operated on by either a plastic surgeon or an ENT. Call your closest teaching hospital, or ask your family doctor, for a referral to a craniofacial team.
