Abstract
SummaryNeonatal nasal obstruction is a well-known clinical entity. Fortunately, it is rarely life-threatening and usually resolves with conservative management. As with most conditions, a systematic history and thorough physical examination are crucial for correct diagnosis and management. The initial diagnosis may be elusive and require either serial or more in-depth evaluations. Occasionally, examination may reveal structural abnormalities necessitating surgical intervention. Fortunately most of these abnormalities are amenable to surgery; however, a select few are notoriously difficult to treat.
