An ancient yoga technique called sutra neti, which is extensively used in India to keep the sinuses healthy, led to complete velopharyngeal stenosis in a 67-year-old male patient who presented with bilateral nasal obstruction, mouth breathing, anosmia and a change in voice.
The patient was diagnosed by nasal endoscopy using a zero-degree Hopkins rod endoscope, and adhesions were released using coblation.
The patient had post-operative alleviation of symptoms and a patent velopharyngeal inlet on examination.
Vigorous sutra neti can lead to velopharyngeal stenosis. Release of the stenosis is then required to cure the nasal blockade.
一种名为经咒洗鼻的古老瑜伽技巧，在印度被广泛用于保持鼻窦健康，但却导致一名67岁男性患者出现完全性腭咽狭窄，该患者表现为双侧鼻塞、张口呼吸、嗅觉丧失及声音改变。
使用0度Hopkins杆状内镜通过鼻内镜对患者进行诊断，并使用低温等离子消融术松解粘连。
患者术后症状缓解，检查发现腭咽入口通畅。
剧烈的经咒洗鼻可导致腭咽狭窄。随后需要解除狭窄以治愈鼻塞。
