Özet
Purpose: This study aims to retrospectively evaluate the clinical findings, breed
distributions, and reconstructive surgery outcomes of cats diagnosed with stenotic
nares brought to the Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Veterinary Health Application
and Research Center Otorhinolaryngology Clinic between 2010 and 2026.Material-Method: Records of patients diagnosed with stenotic nares between 2010
and 2026 were examined. The study included 213 cats regardless of age, breed, or
gender. Symptoms and clinical findings were recorded. The unilateral or bilateral
placement of lesions was evaluated during physical examination. Patient-specific
planned operations and surgical methods were analyzed.Results: Of the 213 cases analyzed, the majority (49.3%) were Scottish Fold cats,
followed by British Shorthair and Exotic Shorthair breeds. Stertorous breathing was
identified as the most common clinical symptom. Examinations revealed that the
lesion was bilateral in almost all cases (96.7%). Bilateral rhinoplasty was performed
in cases requiring surgery. In some cases, labiaplasty was performed in addition to
rhinoplasty. It was determined that soft palate hyperplasia accompanied stenotic nares
in certain cases, and staphylectomy was additionally performed on these patients.Conclusion: This study demonstrates that stenotic nares is a common congenital
anomaly in brachycephalic cat breeds, particularly Scottish Folds, and constitutes one
of the primary causes of upper respiratory tract obstruction. It was concluded that
early surgical intervention is highly effective in increasing respiratory quality and
preventing secondary complications.Keywords: Cat, stenotic nares, rhinoplasty, labiaplasty, brachycephalic obstructive
