The CHARGE syndrome, which has an incidence of 1/10.000-15.000, involves multiple congenital anomalies. A newborn infant admitted to our neonatal intensive care unit with respiratory distress was diagnosed with CHARGE syndrome due to the presence of multiple anomalies including bilateral choanal stenosis, choroidal coloboma, ear anomalies, hearing loss, heart and renal anomalies. The reason we report this patient is two-fold: fi rst to remind that CHARGE syndrome should be considered in infants with choanal atresia and other anomalies, and second to emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach in the treatment of patients with CHARGE syndrome
