Abstract

A case of nasopharyngeal fibrous diaphragm of unknown origin is reported. In view of the scarcity of publications about this disorder, this new case is interesting. A differential diagnosis is made with choanal atresia and nasopharyngeal stenosis. Aspects of the etiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment are discussed.
