Skull bone shapes in babies born with one blocked nasal passage
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at the shape and structure of the skull bones in people who have congenital unilateral choanal atresia (a birth condition where one side of the nose is blocked). It will use CT scans to understand if there are common skull bone differences that could help guide surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of congenital unilateral choanal atresia (a condition present at birth where one side of the nose is blocked).
- You must not have severe craniofacial syndromes (conditions that affect the face and skull).

This trial compares two surgical methods for treating congenital choanal atresia (a blockage in the back of the nose that babies are born with). One method uses a special flap technique, and the other uses a tube plus a medicine called mitomycin C to help keep the passage open.
This study looks at the skull bones and stitches (sutures) removed during surgery for craniosynostosis to learn more about their structure. It may help doctors understand better how to treat this condition.
This study looks at existing CT scans of the nose and sinuses to understand how a specific variation in the nasal passage relates to sinus health. It may help doctors better identify and treat sinus problems.
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 study compares two ways to shape the nose and improve facial appearance in babies born with bilateral cleft lip and palate. It aims to find which method works better before surgery. Participating babies will receive the treatment starting when they are less than one month old.
This study looks at how jaw and palate treatments affect airflow through the upper airway in children with a specific bite and jaw shape. It may help researchers understand which treatments improve space for breathing and related pressure changes.
