The exact cause of bronchial atresia is unknown; the lobar bronchi, subsegmental bronchi, and distal bronchioles develop in the fifth, sixth, and sixteenth weeks of fetal development, respectively.
The surgical option is cosmetic reconstruction of the external ear's normal shape and repair of the ear canal. In less severe cases, the reconstruction will be sufficient to restore hearing. In grades of anotia/microtia that affect the middle ear, the surgery with the use of a bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA) will likely restore the hearing ...

Choanal atresia is diagnosed based on the inability to place a nasal catheter, and radiology results (particularly CT scans).

Choanal atresia is a fairly rare condition, affecting between 1 in 7,000 to 1 in 5,000 live births.
