Skull bone variations in choanal atresia patients
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at skull bone differences in people born with a blocked nasal passage on one side (choanal atresia). It may help doctors understand the condition better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a blockage in one nostril that you were born with (congenital unilateral choanal atresia).
- You do not have a major facial or skull condition (severe craniofacial syndrome).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two different surgeries to fix a blockage in the back of the nose (choanal atresia). It aims to see which surgery works better for babies and young children who were born with this condition.
This study looks at a harmless variation in the shape of a small bone inside your nose (the inferior turbinate) by reviewing CT scans already taken for other reasons. It aims to understand how common this variation is and whether it relates to other sinus or nasal findings.
This study uses CT scans to look at the natural variations in the temporal bone (the skull bone around your ear) in people with middle ear problems. It aims to help doctors better understand normal anatomy so they can plan safer ear surgeries.
This study is building a database of medical information and images from children with certain conditions affecting the face and skull, such as craniosynostosis, achondroplasia, and osteogenesis imperfecta. The goal is to better understand these conditions and improve future care.
This research study examines the bone structure and healing of the skull in babies with craniosynostosis (when skull bones fuse too early). Researchers will analyze bone samples to better understand how the condition affects bone development and strength.
This study follows children and adults with craniofacial (head/face) differences to learn how their growth changes over time. It also enrolls unaffected family members and healthy volunteers to compare what is “typical,” using scans and optional genetic testing.
