Nothing was visible on examination of the throat/nasopharynx - only had auroscope/spay hook available for soft palate.

As an aside, I'm always surprised how few practices seem to have a small, round, angled mirror. It's not expensive, you can get ones that fit onto your auroscope handle and therefore have a strong light at the end, and it's endlessly useful for dentals as well as checking behind soft palates. I've found many blades of grass with mine....which I bought when I got bored with not having one available.

Go on, bosses... invest :0))

Flushing can prove curative! Be sure to take the credit if it is.

Getting retrograde endoscopy done to examine the nasopharynx and choanae is really really worth the effort.

OK. I'll try and put them up. I got an intra-oral view of the nasal chambers.

Any chance of seeing the xrays? Would be neat to take a look. Open mouth shot, by any chance?
