Plain-English summary
A nine-year-old female Afghan hound was brought in because she had been having a smelly, gooey discharge from one side of her nose that came and went for three years. X-rays showed that one of her canine teeth was stuck in the front part of her nose. The vet removed the tooth through a special surgical procedure. After 20 months, the dog has not had any more nasal discharge or problems from the surgery.
Abstract
A nine-year-old, intact female Afghan hound was presented for evaluation of an intermittent, mucopurulent, unilateral nasal discharge with a three-year duration. Radiographs showed the ipsilateral canine tooth within the rostral nasal cavity. The tooth was removed through an alveolar mucosal rhinotomy. There has been no recurrence of the nasal discharge or complications associated with the surgical procedure during the 20-month follow-up period.
