Bir Kedide Nasofarengeal Polip Traksiyon-Avulziyonu Sonucu Gelişen Geçici Horner Sendromu

Yakın Doğu Üniversitesi Hayvan Hastanesi'ne, gürültülü soluma şikayeti ile gelen 5 aylık, dişi, Russian Blue melezi bir kedide yapılan farenks muayenesi sonucu sol nazofarengeal bölgede kitle tespit edildi. Videootoskopik muayenede dış kulak yolu ile kulak zarının, direkt bulla radyografisinde ise kavum timpaninin normal olduğu belirlendi. Kitle; traksiyon-avülziyon yöntemi ile alındı ve yapılan histopatolojik muayenede kronik inflamatorik polip olduğu belirlendi. Postoperatif 1. gün gelişen Horner sendromunun, topikal sempatomimetik midriyatik kullanımı ile bir ay içinde düzeldiği gözlendi.

Trancient Horner's Syndrome as a Result of Nasopharyngeal Polyp Traction-Avulsion in a Cat

A 5-month old, female, half-breed Russian Blue cat was admitted to Animal Hospital of Near East University with a complaint of noisy breathing. Nasopharynx examination revealed a mass in the left region. The findings of external ear canal and tympanic membrane, and cavum tympani were normal according to video otoscopic examination and direct tympanic bulla radiography, respectively. Mass was removed by traction-avulsion and histopathological examination showed chronic inflammatory polyp. Horner's syndrome was recovered within a month in post-operative period.
