摘　　要：Introduction:Congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis(CNPAS)is a rare congenital condition of structural nasal obstruction.Respiratory distress,stertor,and poor feeding are often presenting features.Case Presentation:We report a case of a newborn diagnosed with CNPAS at 3 weeks of life.The diagnosis was missed on a nasoendoscopy at day 3 of life but was realised following a facial CT when the infant presented with ongoing symptoms of upper airway obstruction.Nasal dilation was performed successfully.Conclusion:CNPAS should be considered in any neonate with upper airway obstruction.A normal nasoendoscopy does not exclude the diagnosis.
