Primary Intranasal Melanotic Mucosal Melanoma - A Case Report and Literature Review.

Background: Intranasal mucosal melanoma is a rare form of melanoma. Presenting as the features of occult malignancy and rapid in its progression. Presented with nonspecific symptoms. So far, no specific risk factor has been identified. The histopathological and immunohistochemical examination helps to confirm the diagnosis. Here, we present a case of primary intranasal melanotic mucosal melanoma and literature review. Case Report: The authors present a patient with primary right intranasal melanotic mucosal melanoma.

Bilateral Membranous Choanal Atresia Without Associated Other Congenital Anomalies in a 16-Year-Old Female Patient: Case Report.

Congenital abnormality of the nasal cavities called choanal atresia is characterized by a loss of patency at the posterior extremities of one or both nasal canals. It is the most frequent congenital nasal cavity abnormality. A third of cases with choanal atresia occur bilaterally, and due to respiratory difficulty in the newborn period, it is almost always diagnosed. Bilateral choanal atresia has rarely been identified in adults and is very uncommon. We describe the case of an adolescent girl who suffered from bilateral choanal atresia after presenting with persistent nasal congestion, snoring, and an inability to breathe through her nose. To restore the choanal patency, she underwent bilateral transnasal endoscopic choanoplasty.

Bilateral Choanal Atresia in an Adolescent Female: A Rare Case Report.

Choanal atresia is a rare congenital anomaly of the nasal cavities characterized by lack of patency of the posterior ends of one or both nasal cavities (choanae). It is the most common congenital anomaly of the nasal cavity. Bilateral choanal atresia accounts for a third of the cases and is almost invariably detected in the neonatal age due to respiratory distress. Detection of bilateral choanal atresia in adulthood is extremely rare and has been reported only a few times. We report a case of a teenage girl who was diagnosed with bilateral choanal atresia after presenting with longstanding snoring and intermittent nasal discharge. She was managed with bilateral transnasal endoscopic choanoplasty to restore the choanal patency.
