Topic:Case Reports
Case reports in equine medicine provide detailed accounts of individual horses' clinical presentations, diagnostic processes, treatments, and outcomes. These reports are valuable for documenting rare conditions, novel treatment approaches, or unique clinical insights that may not be captured in larger studies. By focusing on individual cases, these reports contribute to the broader understanding of equine health and disease management. They often include comprehensive information on the horse's history, clinical findings, diagnostic tests, therapeutic interventions, and follow-up evaluations. This page assembles peer-reviewed case reports and scholarly articles that explore diverse aspects of equine health, offering insights into specific medical scenarios and their implications for veterinary practice.
[Interstitial cell adenoma of the hypophysis with Cushing-like symptomatology in the horse]. A trabecular adenoma of the pars intermedia of the hypophysis was seen in a 13-year-old half-bred mare that presented symptoms corresponding to Cushing's disease of man. The spindle-shaped tumor cells were for the most part ‘light’, seldom ‘dark’. Both of them were characterized by well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum, small Golgi apparatus, and typical secretory granules with a diameter of about 200 μm. The pituitary tumor and the symptoms were accompanied by increased plasma adenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and by bilateral hyperplasia of the adrenal cortex. The tumor cells ...
Tyzzer’s disease in a foal. Light- and electron-microscopic observations. Tyzzer's disease was diagnosed in a 17-day-old foa l after the demonstra tion
of mu ltip le foci of hepat ic necro sis and organisms morphologically compatible with
Bacillus piliformis in hepa tocytes at the margins of the necrotic foci. Th e bac illi were
300 to 500 nm in diameter with occa sional giant bacilli 1000 nm in d iameter. Ma ny intranuclear organisms were seen, and a n a pparent sequence of nuclear penetration by these
organisms was demonstrated . There was hem orrhage in the hear t a nd inflamma tory
