Plain-English summary
A one-year-old cat was brought in for noisy breathing and frequent sneezing that had been going on for four months.

After performing surgery to remove the polyps, the cat's symptoms improved significantly, and it was able to breathe normally again.

Abstract
Ethmoturbinate polyps are described in a one-year-old cat with a four month history of stertorous respiration and frequent sneezing. Remission of clinical signs occurred after rhinotomy and polypectomy. This appears to be the first known case of nasal polyps reported from outside Italy and the USA.
