Univariable analysis identified associations between the presence of a nasopharyngeal mass and several factors: brachycephalic conformation (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001), sleep disturbances (P\u2009=\u2009.04), presence of laryngeal collapse (P\u2009=\u2009.01), and aberrant caudal turbinates (P\u2009=\u2009.04). However, according to the multivariable analysis, only the association between the presence of a mass and brachycephalic conformation was significant (odds ratio\u2009=\u20092.3 [1.1; 5.0], P\u2009=\u2009.03).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion and Clinical Importance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Dorsomedian nasopharyngeal masses were common in the studied dog population.
