Abstract
This report describes the identification of C7-T1 discospondylitis on myelography and confirmed on postmortem computed tomography and necropsy in a 4-year-old Standardbred gelding as the consequence of jugular vein catheterisation and secondary septic thrombophlebitis. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from both sites. Diagnosis was complicated by non-specific signs of pain and the acute presentation of the gelding. Clinical signs included cervical pain, low head carriage, fever and ataxia. Antimicrobial therapy and multimodal pain management were initiated but were unsuccessful. Spread of infection from septic thrombophlebitis has uncommonly been reported in horses, and this is the first reported case of secondary discospondylitis in this species.
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).
