Brachycephalic obstructive respiratory syndrome (BRS) is characterized by anatomical and physiological changes that cause significant obstruction of the upper airways and predominantly affect dogs of brachycephalic breeds. These anatomical alterations can be classified as primary, such as nostril stenosis, soft palate prolongation and tracheal hypoplasia, and secondary, usually caused by increased turbulence and air resistance, such as eversion of laryngeal sacs, edema, nasopharyngeal inflammation, paralysis and laryngeal collapse. The evolution of these alterations may occur with age, developing into more serious respiratory diseases and even leading the patient to death. The objective of this report was to report the clinical surgical case of a canine, French bulldog, submitted to rhinoplasty and staphylectomy procedures. The patient was admitted with difficulty breathing when subjected to exercise, dyspnea, snoring, restlessness, and occasionally regurgitating food. Upon physical examination, this was found to be due to a brachycephalic syndrome, in which he had nostril stenosis and inspiratory stridor, suggesting soft palate prolongation. The patient was referred for corrective rhinoplasty surgery and staphylectomy. The procedure was performed, with a good prognosis and significant improvement in quality of life.
