Plain-English summary
A 2-year-old Rottweiler was brought in for coughing, regurgitating food, and having a runny nose. The vet diagnosed him with a fungal infection in the nasal passages (sinonasal aspergillosis) that was also affecting his esophagus. After treating the nasal infection, the dog's symptoms completely went away. This case highlights how addressing the nasal issue helped improve his esophageal function as well.

Following treatment of sinonasal aspergillosis, all clinical signs resolved. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of resolution of esophageal dysfunction following treatment of sinonasal aspergillosis.
