Abstract
A 2-year-old, domestic short hair cat presented because of a 2-year history of chronic nasal discharge and chronic otitis. Examination of the oral cavity revealed a mass in the nasopharynx. For further examination, computed tomography (CT) was performed and large polyp was revealed on the nasopharyngeal area. Traction removal of the polyp was performed using a spay hook. After removal of the mass, Horner's syndrome was developed but resolved spontaneously within 14 days.
