Clinical definition (Orphanet)
A rare otorhinolaryngological characterized by narrowing of the pyriform aperture (i. e. < 8 to 10 mm in a full-term infant) due to an overgrowth of the nasal process of the maxilla, resulting in potentially lethal nasal airway obstruction in the newborn. Depending on the degree of obstruction, clinical signs and symptoms include inspiratory stridor, respiratory distress, cyanosis, sternal retraction, ribcage asymmetry, and feeding difficulties.

Research stages
Trial readiness signals
Where this condition sits on an open-data research pipeline — not how close a treatment is, and not medical advice. Empty stages often mean “not in these databases under this Mondo ID,” not “impossible.”
1/6 stages with a signal
Research-stage checklist from open sources (GenCC, literature, Monarch when enriched, ClinicalTrials.gov). Not a prognosis or care recommendation.

Biology
Genes and phenotypes
Gene–disease validity from GenCC, plus phenotypes and animal models joined from Monarch Initiative via Mondo ID — not a clinical diagnosis aid.
Do we know what causes it?
Not yet — the cause hasn't been pinned down in GenCC.
No strong gene–disease assertion joined for this Orphanet entity.

We do not yet link condition-specific patient organisations. These umbrella groups support undiagnosed and ultra-rare families:
India — NPRD
Last verified 2026-07-26This ORPHAcode is not on our curated NPRD list (direct or Mondo-parent match). That does not decide clinical eligibility; families in India should ask a notified Centre of Excellence about current coverage.
Hand-curated for this project. ORPHAcode mappings are best-effort and may be incomplete or imprecise for umbrella categories. Parent (Mondo) matches mean the policy lists a broader category — confirm eligibility with a Centre of Excellence. Financial entitlements summarised from public policy statements and may change. This is not official government guidance.
How we counted this
Europe PMC query (preferred label + any corrected label + Orphanet and Mondo exact synonyms, stoplisted; unioned with resolved MeSH labels when available). UMLS / OMIM / NCIT cross-references are stored on the overview but are not added to the query string.
"Isolated congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis" OR "Isolated apertura pyriformis stenosis" OR "Isolated nasal pyriform aperture hypoplasia"
ClinicalTrials.gov query (quoted phrases + MeSH via query.cond, plus recall-expansion terms when used):
"Isolated congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis" OR "Isolated apertura pyriformis stenosis" OR "Isolated nasal pyriform aperture hypoplasia"
Study-type breakdown: 0 interventional · 0 observational · 0 expanded access. Only interventional studies enter the trial headline.
