description BACKGROUND: Bilateral congenital choanal atresia that presents in adulthood is rare. There are only eight reported cases in the literature. METHOD: We present a ninth case of adult bilateral choanal atresia diagnosed at the age of 20 years. Can a bilateral choanal atresia present so late in life when such a condition is considered incompatible with life? RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Clinical details, diagnosis, and surgical steps with a clear depiction of photographs and comparison with all other previously reported cases, which can help novel otolaryngologists in their clinical practice are discussed.
