Neonatal nasal obstruction is a true emergency. It is preferable to establish an airway initially, which allows full evaluation of the problem. The newborn should be stabilized prior to embarking on definitive treatment, especially if other congenital anomalies involving multiple organ systems are present. Once the infant's situation is controlled, appropriate tests, such as diagnostic endoscopy and radiologic imaging, can be undertaken. Medical options should be considered initially. When appropriate, surgical therapy can be curative.
