Endoscopic retrieval of a large, nasopharyngeal foreign body.
A 1.5-year-old golden retriever was presented for stertorous respiration, reverse sneezing, halitosis, and a bilateral mucopurulent nasal discharge. A bone-density, nasopharyngeal foreign body was visualized on lateral radiographs of the skull. The foreign body was removed using a videoendoscope and a basket retrieval forcep. The dog's clinical signs resolved following foreign body removal.
