In the early stage, only the oropharyngeal discomfort was felt, and the symptoms were not obvious and were easily ignored. After the occurrence of bad breath, sore throat, swallowing pain, can be radiated to the same side and neck, the use of antibiotics can temporarily relieve symptoms. In the advanced stage, dysphagia may occur and sound changes may occur. Soft palate fixation, destruction, and perforation may cause food to flow back to the nasal cavity; upward or outward invasion of the nasopharynx or parapharyngeal space may have closed jaws, difficulty in opening the mouth, otitis media, and pain in the ankle. And occasionally cranial nerve involvement.
Diagnosis
Differential diagnosis
Food reflux to the nasal cavity should be identified with the following diseases:
1. Mixed tumors, small parotid mixed tumors of the ankle are more benign than malignant. No symptoms, slow growth, and most of the tumor surface mucosa is normal. No bone damage. It can be identified by puncture cytology or frozen sections during surgery.
2. Maxillary sinus cancer, especially the primary wall of the primary wall often cause oral symptoms, sometimes indistinguishable from the invasion of the maxillary sinus. Maxillary sinus cancer often has nasal symptoms and abnormal exudate. The teeth loosened off early and the number was large. X-ray showed extensive bone destruction in maxillary sinus cancer occupying lesions.
