Abstract

The nasopharyngeal disease is common in felines. Nasopharyngeal stenosis is uncommonly a congenital problem, with most cases being secondary to other diseases. An 8-month-old male neutered domestic shorthair presented with a chief complaint of chronic nasal congestion, open-mouth breathing, and discharge. CT was performed, and palatal dysgenesis resulting in complete nasopharyngeal obstruction, secondary nasopharyngitis, and rostral nasal turbinate lysis were found. This was confirmed by an endoscopic evaluation of the nasopharynx region, which demonstrated a lack of connection between the nasopharynx and oropharynx. This is the first CT report documenting congenital palate dysgenesis resulting in complete obstruction of the nasopharynx.

猫科动物腭部发育不良导致鼻咽部完全阻塞：病例报告。

鼻咽疾病在猫科动物中很常见。鼻咽部狭窄是一种先天性疾病，并不常见，大多数病例都是继发于其他疾病。一只 8 个月大的雄性阉割短毛猫主诉长期鼻塞、张口呼吸和流鼻涕。经 CT 检查发现，腭部发育不良导致鼻咽完全阻塞、继发性鼻咽炎和喙鼻甲溶解。鼻咽部位的内窥镜评估证实了这一点，该评估显示鼻咽和口咽之间缺乏连接。这是第一份记录先天性上颚发育不良导致鼻咽完全阻塞的 CT 报告。
