Abstract
We report on a child with choanal atresia and deletion 9p. A review of the literature documented one previous instance of choanal atresia in a patient with del(9p). Choanal atresia may be part of the spectrum o f malformations in the deletion (9p) syndrome and its presence should prompt a search for this particular deletion as part of the differenti al diagnosis.
