Q1 RESPIRATORY Flashcards
palatoschisis
cleft palate, communication between oral and nasal cavity
choanal atresia
no opening between lasal cavity and nasopharynx, lack of nasal turbinates
ciliary dyskinesia
malformed cilia
brachycephalic airway syndrome
stenotic nares, elongated soft palate, everted laryngeal saccules, hypoplastic trachea
eustachitis
gutteral pouch inflammation, empyema is accumulation of pus within
hemoptysis
coughing up blood
catarrhal exudate
mucoid, thick but clear
aspergillus spp.
long nose dogs very purulent rhinitis
common bacterial causes of feline rhinitis and conjunctivitis
calicivirus, herpes, Mycoplasma felis, Chlamydophila felis, fungal cryptococcus spp.
pathognomonic for herpesvirus
dendritic corneal ulcerations
Cryptococcus spp. in cats
gelatinous polypoid masses, can cause encephalitis, “roman nose”
IBR (bovine herpes)
very red, necrotic nose, mannheimia synergism, fibrinonecrotic membrane
pathogenesis of atrophic rhinitis in pigs
bord and pasteurella infection ihibits osteoblasts and increases osteoclasts, loss of nasal conchae causes septal deviation
Oestrus ovis
sheep bot fly, larvae deposit in nostrils
Cuterebra spp.
rodent bot fly, nasal cavity in cats
equine rhinopneumonitis (herpes 1,4)
causes myeloencephalopathy and abortions in mares, can remain latent in trigeminal ganglia
horner’s syndrome
miosis and upper eyelid dropping, elevated third eyelid, caused by nerve compression from swelling
ethmoid hematoma
common in horses, pedunculated mass from conchae, unilateral nasal bleeding
