This condition usually occurs sporadically, but has also been rarely described in siblings. We present monozygotic premature twin infants with identical findings of bilateral choanal atresia and no other associated anomalies. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such an occurrence. © 2005 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved.en10.1038/sj.jp.7211396info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessLung Surfactant; Apgar Score; Article; Artificial Ventilation; Case Report; Cesarean Section; Choana Atresia; Emergency Surgery; Endoscopy; Female; Fetus Distress; Follow Up; Gestational Age; Human; Infant; Intubation; Monozygotic Twins; Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome; Newborn Intensive Care; Outcomes Research; Physical Examination; Positive End Expiratory Pressure; Prematurity; Prenatal Care; Sibling; Surgical Approach; Thorax Radiography; Choanal Atresia; Diagnosis, Differential; Diseases In Twins; Endoscopy; Female; Humans; Infant, Low Birth Weight; Infant, Newborn; Infant, Premature, Diseases; Intensive Care, Neonatal; Positive-Pressure Respiration; Respiration, Artificial; Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn; Twins, MonozygoticArticle25128008022-s2.0-2964444560516311503Q1
