Yoga is becoming way of life world over to stay fit and agile both physically and mentally. Sutra neti is an ancient yoga practice in which a thread/tube is passed through nostrils and taken out through mouth and is then moved back and forth. This technique is believed to clean nasal passages and is considered relatively safe. We report a case of nasopharyngeal stenosis caused due to this ancient practice. People and yoga trainers all over the world should be made aware of this complication of sutra neti as it is difficult to treat and has high recurrence rate.

瑜伽正在成为一种全球范围内的生活方式，以保持身体和精神的健康与敏捷。经文净鼻法是一种古老的瑜伽练习，将一根线/管子通过鼻孔插入，从口中取出，然后来回移动。这种技巧被认为可以清洁鼻腔通道，且相对安全。我们报告了一例因这种古老练习导致的鼻咽狭窄病例。全世界的人们和瑜伽教练都应该了解经文净鼻法的这种并发症，因为它难以治疗且复发率高。
