Abstract

We herein report a rare case of a forty-one-year-old male that reported to Rehman Medical institute, Peshawar, Pakistan on 20th March 2021 with partial nasopharyngeal stenosis after undergoing Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery complex and Uvelopalatopharyngoplasty two months ago. As a result of this procedure, he developed scar tissue due to which there was a regurgitation of fluids from his nostrils and difficulty breathing. He underwent surgical intervention where dense, thick, fibrotic tissues were extracted, edges were freshened and a large passage was created between the oropharynx and the nasopharynx.
