Q

History and clinical signs

A
  • discharge, sneezing, bleeding, pain, strider, dyspnea, reverse sneezing
  • nasal discharge can also be part of systemic disease (distemper, viral rhinotracheitis, bleeding disorders)
  • physical examination:
    Shape, nasal strider, closing of the mouth, discharge uni/bilateral, inspection of the mouth (teeth!), depigmentation

Q

Tumours in the nasal cavity

A
  • any age, but < 5 years
  • usually malignant
  • radiography, rhinoscopy + biopsy (!), CT, MRI
  • squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, sarcoma, lymphoma
  • often euthanasia
18
Q

Epistaxis

A
  • ~nasal bleeding (recurrent/profuse)
  • radiography and rhinoscopy should be delayed for 48h

22
Q

Larynx. Functional anatomy

A

Functions: air flow, protection of the lower airway (from aspiration), vocalisation

3 unpaired cartilages (epiglottis, cricoid, thyroid) (corniculate amd cuneiform process, vocal folds and epiglottis)
- cricoarytenoid muscles, caudal laryngeal nerves

23
Q
