Upon physical examination, palpation of the proximal thirds of the third and fourth metacarpal bones elicited marked pain. Radiographic evaluation revealed a well-defined radiolucency within the proximal third of the left third metacarpal bone, localised to the enthesis of the proximal suspensory ligament. Ultrasonographic findings demonstrated moderate thickening and increased vascularity of the suspensory ligament at this level. Surgical intervention was considered; however, its feasibility was constrained by the atypical nature and location of the lesion. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provided a detailed characterisation of the lesion, confirming its expansile nature and the suspected associated avulsion fracture presence. Histopathological examination corroborated the diagnosis of an aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) with an accompanying bone fracture and bone remodelling. Cases like the one described here define the importance of utilising advanced imaging techniques in combination with conventional modalities, especially when diagnosing and assessing the extent of unusual or complex lesions, to inform prognosis and guide treatment decisions. Due to the lesion's intramedullary location, expansile nature and involvement of critical anatomical structures, surgical interventions were limited which led to a recommendation for humane euthanasia.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11786,"journal":{"name":"Equine Veterinary Education","volume":"37 5","pages":"265-270"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The median age of the Straight Egyptian Arabian mares presented with UT was 12 ± 2.3 years (Range: 5–18 and IQR: 7–15 years). The median gestational age at the time of occurrence of UT was 270 ± 2.4 days (Range: 210–315 and IQR: 255–260 days). The majority of UT (75.9%) was recorded ≤270 days. The direction of torsion was clockwise in 36 (41.4%) mares and anticlockwise in 51 (58.6%) mares. The degree of UT ranged between &lt;180° and ≥360°. After surgery, 82/87 (94.3%) mares successfully delivered a live foal. However, four mares (4.6%) aborted after 2–15 days of surgery and one mare (1.1%) died after surgery due to rectal tears and intestinal prolapse. Following SFL, 86/87 (98.9%) mares survived. Of the surviving 86 mares, 82 (95.3%) gave birth to viable mature foals. In contrast to the direction of torsion and gender of the foal, the stage of gestation at which UT occurred significantly affected foal survival (<i>p</i> = 0.018).</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Pregnant Straight Egyptian Arabian mares are at risk of developing UT during the third trimester of pregnancy.

Several management techniques have been described, each with their own set of complications. The objective of this case report was to describe the direct injection of botulinum toxin type A into the parotid gland and its outcome in two clinical cases involving damage to either the parotid salivary gland or its duct. Both cases involved iatrogenic damage to either the parotid salivary gland or its duct. Treatment for both cases involved the injection of 200 units of botulinum toxin type A into the parotid gland in order to reduce salivary production and to prevent the potential development of a chronic fistula. Follow-up assessment after the treatment was conducted via telephone consultation and photographs from the owners. In both clinical cases, a marked reduction in saliva production from the parotid gland was noted within 2 days after toxin injection and the wounds healed without complication. In the first case, the treatment was repeated after 3 weeks. No short- or long-term side effects after injection were reported by the owners. Limitations were the small number of cases and the lack of literature regarding the dose and treatment regime for botulinum toxin type A in horses. It was concluded that the administration of botulinum toxin type A appears to be a safe and effective therapeutic alternative or complementary procedure for the treatment and prevention of parotid gland or duct fistulas in horses.</p>","PeriodicalId":11786,"journal":{"name":"Equine Veterinary Education","volume":"37 7","pages":"e119-e125"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/eve.14072","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144206691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
