Abstract

A 20-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding was presented to the Royal Veterinary College Equine Referral Hospital for investigation of left-sided epistaxis, depression and gait abnormalities of approximately 1 month duration. Physical examination and cranial nerve evaluation were unremarkable. A small amount of haemorrhagic discharge was noted from the left nostril. Gait evaluation was suggestive of proprioceptive deficits. Computed tomography (CT) identified a mass lesion within the left conchofrontal and sphenopalatine sinuses extending through the cribriform plate into the calvarium. Histopathology of the mass revealed a neuroendocrine neoplasm, for which a diagnosis of esthesioneuroblastoma was favoured. This case highlights the usefulness of CT for the identification and extent of an intracranial mass and therefore its prognosis, however, histopathological examination was necessary to confirm the diagnosis.

一匹马的鼻腔神经内分泌肿瘤伴颅内扩展的计算机断层扫描结果

一匹 20 岁的爱尔兰运动马公马因左侧鼻衄、精神萎靡和步态异常前往英国皇家兽医学院马科转诊医院就诊，病程约 1 个月。体格检查和颅神经评估均无异常。左鼻孔有少量出血分泌物。步态评估提示存在本体感觉障碍。计算机断层扫描（CT）发现，左侧锥额窦和蝶窦内有一个肿块，穿过楔形板延伸到小腿。肿块的组织病理学检查显示为神经内分泌肿瘤，诊断为雌神经母细胞瘤。该病例凸显了 CT 在确定颅内肿块及其范围从而预后方面的作用，但组织病理学检查对确诊十分必要。

期刊介绍： Equine Veterinary Education (EVE) is the official journal of post-graduate education of both the British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) and the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP). Equine Veterinary Education is a monthly, peer-reviewed, subscription-based journal, integrating clinical research papers, review articles and case reports from international sources, covering all aspects of medicine and surgery relating to equids. These papers facilitate the dissemination and implementation of new ideas and techniques relating to clinical veterinary practice, with the ultimate aim of promoting best practice. New developments are placed in perspective, encompassing new concepts and peer commentary. The target audience is veterinarians primarily engaged in the practise of equine medicine and surgery. The educational value of a submitted article is one of the most important criteria that are assessed when deciding whether to accept it for publication. Articles do not necessarily need to contain original or novel information but we welcome submission of this material. The educational value of an article may relate to articles published with it (e.g. a Case Report may not have direct educational value but an associated Clinical Commentary or Review Article published alongside it will enhance the educational value).
