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.
Transposition of the aorta and atresia of the pulmonary trunk in a horse. ABSTRACT Transposition of the aorta to the right ventricle with atresia of the pulmonary trunk was described in a 2 year old horse. Clinical and physiological examinations were performed and data recorded. Teratogenesis of the present anomaly was discussed and the literature reviewed. The probable course of circulation during the fetal life and after birth of this animal was suggested. An extensive col-lateral circulation was developed to the lungs, which might explain how the animal could live so long.
Generalized Equine Cutaneous Mastocytosis. A newborn foal developed generalized cutaneous mastocytosis characterized by multiple elevated nodules of mast cells in skin and basophil hyperplasia in bone marrow. Skin lesions began as small aggregates of mast cells that progressively enlarged, ulcerated, and regressed spontaneously. Eosinophil infiltration, collagen necrosis, and fibroplasia were characteristic of advanced lesions. Many new lesions developed during the first month of life but numbers progressively diminished. Large numbers of mast cells were present in biopsies of lymph node, spleen and bone marrow. Discrete aggregates of ...
