Abstract

A ten-year-old miniature Dachshund dog was presented for chronic paroxysmal sneezing and unilateral nasal discharge. Extraction of the maxillary right fourth premolar tooth had been performed 2-weeks prior to the onset of clinical signs. Multiple diagnostic modalities were used to confirm the diagnosis and determine that the etiology was a nasally displaced mesiopalatal tooth root. A limited lateral rhinotomy was performed to remove the root. Postoperative examination 1-month following surgery indicated resolution of the clinical signs and uncomplicated healing of the surgery site. Oral examination indicated normal healing of the surgery site with continued absence of clinical signs 6-months after treatment.
