title: Pharyngeal mucocele and respiratory distress in a cat.
abstract: A young cat was referred to an emergency clinic for acute onset of respiratory distress. Physical examination revealed right submandibular, sublingual, and pharyngeal swellings, presumably of salivary origin. Respiratory arrest necessitated emergency tracheostomy and resection of pharyngeal mucocele.
