The stridor was no longer evident when the dog's mouth was manually held open. Computed tomography, rhinoscopy, and fluoroscopy were used to confirm a diagnosis of nasopharyngeal stenosis.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Treatment and Outcome<\/jats:bold>\u2014The dog was anesthetized, and balloon dilatation of the stenosis was performed. Prednisone was prescribed for 4 weeks after the procedure to decrease fibrous tissue formation. Although the dog was initially improved, signs recurred 3.5 weeks later, and balloon dilatation was repeated. This time, however, triamcinolone was injected into the area of stenosis at the end of the dilatation procedure. Two months later, although the dog did not have clinical signs of stridor, a third dilatation procedure was performed because mild stenosis was seen on follow-up computed tomographic images; again, triamcinolone was injected into the area of stenosis at the end of the dilatation procedure. Three and 6 months after the third dilatation procedure, the dog reportedly was clinically normal.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014Findings suggest that balloon dilatation may be an effective treatment for nasopharyngeal stenosis in dogs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.229.3.385","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,2]],"date-time":"2006-08-02T18:23:09Z","timestamp":1154542989000},"page":"385-388","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Balloon dilatation of nasopharyngeal stenosis in a dog"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"229","author":[{"given":"Allyson C.","family":"Berent","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jennifer","family":"Kinns","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chick","family":"Weisse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Vet Radiol Ultrasound","first-page":"53","article-title":"Balloon dilatation of nasopharyngeal stenosis in a cat","volume":"44","author":"Boswood","year":"2003"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"J Am Anim Hosp Assoc","first-page":"251","article-title":"Surgical repair of nasopharyngeal stenosis in a cat using a stent","volume":"35","author":"Novo","year":"1999"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Vet Rec","first-page":"257","article-title":"Reproducible and long-lasting success of balloon dilation of nasopharyngeal stenosis in cats","volume":"157","author":"Glaus","year":"2005"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"J Small Anim Pract","first-page":"88","article-title":"Balloon dilation for the treatment of chronic recurrent nasopharyngeal stenosis in a cat","volume":"43","author":"Glaus","year":"2002"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"J Small Anim Pract","first-page":"341","article-title":"Nasopharyngeal stenosis in four cats","volume":"29","author":"Mitten","year":"1988"},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"J Am Anim Hosp Assoc","first-page":"497","article-title":"Choanal atresia and secondary nasopharyngeal stenosis in a dog","volume":"34","author":"Coolman","year":"1998"},{"key":"ref7","series-title":"Laryngoscope","first-page":"1322","article-title":"Management of nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal stenosis in children","volume":"107","author":"McGlaughlin","year":"1997"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"J Am Anim Hosp Assoc","first-page":"455","article-title":"Postanesthetic esophageal dysfunction in 13 dogs","volume":"40","author":"Wilson","year":"2004"},{"key":"ref9","series-title":"J Am Anim Hosp Assoc","first-page":"180","article-title":"Ulcerative esophagitis and esophageal stricture","volume":"13","author":"Wilson","year":"1977"},{"key":"ref10","series-title":"AJNR Am J Neuroradiol","first-page":"743","article-title":"Computed tomographic demonstration of choanal atresia","volume":"5","author":"Tadmor","year":"1984"},{"key":"ref11","series-title":"Clin Otolaryngol Allied Sci","first-page":"102","article-title":"Balloon dilatation of the pharynx","volume":"18","author":"Rowe-Jones","year":"1993"},{"key":"ref12","series-title":"Laryngoscope","first-page":"370","article-title":"A simple surgical technique using the plasma hook for correction of acquired nasopharyngeal stenosis","volume":"115","author":"Madgy","year":"2005"},{"key":"ref13","series-title":"Curr Treat Options Gastroenterol","first-page":"417","article-title":"Management of esophageal strictures in children","volume":"6","author":"Rodriguez-Baez","year":"2003"}],"container-title":["Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/view\/journals\/javma\/229\/3\/javma.229.3.385.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/javma\/229\/3\/javma.229.3.385.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/javma\/229\/3\/javma.229.3.385.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,7]],"date-time":"2025-03-07T13:35:20Z","timestamp":1741354520000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/view\/journals\/javma\/229\/3\/javma.229.3.385.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,1]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2460\/javma.229.3.385","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-1488"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0003-1488","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,1]]}}}
