Abstract
The bilateral choanal atresia is a neonatal emergency. Its diagnosis i s easily evoked when faced with a respiratory distress and cyanosis. I t is quickly confirmed by a nasal optic endoscopy or when a nasopharyn geal aspiration catheter is held up by an obstacle. Putting a pharynge al Mayo's cannula is an urgent gesture. The treatment uses transnasal perforation of the septum followed for two months with frequent aspira tions.
