LIX Posterior Choanal Atresia

The excellent contribution of others to the subject has been most helpful. Boyd 1 made a very thorough study of congenital atresia of the posterior nares. Hanckel 2 reviewed the literature and noted that Ot to described the anomaly in 1831. Hanckel discussed the theories as to the development of the disorder. It may be the result of a persistence of the nasobuccal membrane; or a medial overgrowth of the vertical and horizontal palatal processes; or a persistence of the
