“…Reported causes of nasopharyngeal disorders in the literature include nasopharyngeal stenosis/obstruction secondary to a choanal mass (neoplastic or inflammatory in origin), abscess, abnormal turbinates, foreign body, nasopharyngitis, soft palate granuloma and elongated soft palate (Hunt and others 2002, Billen and others 2006).
