Unit 2 Flashcards
ankylosis of temporohyoid joint causes
temporal bone fracture to occur
what is the cause of fusion of temporohyoid
not clear
what are the clinical signs of fusion of the temporohyoid fusion (ankylosis)
difficulty chewing
pain
facial and/or vestibular nerve dysfunction
what animals does ankylosis of temporohyoid occur in
adult horses (although has been reported in a 1 year old)
in temporohyoid ankylosis, you have marked enlargement of _____
stylohyoid bone
what is the treatment of temporohyoid ankylosis
surgical partial stylohyoidectomy; ceratohyoidectomy
in surgical repair of temporohyoid ankylosis, where is the incision made
ventral throat latch area
what structures are subject to damage during surgical repair of temporohyoid ankylosis
hypoglossal nerve and lingual artery
what are paranasal sinuses
diverticula of nasal cavity
how are paranasal sinuses formed
during development, spaces in bone hollow out the bone; creating inner and outer plates of bone
sinuses continue to develop as skull matures; development is completed _______
postnatally
what are the paranasal sinuses filled with
air; surfaces lined with mucosae
paranasal sinus communication of the horse
all sinuses communicate with nasal cavity either directly or indirectly through the middle nasal meatus
paranasal sinus communication of the ruminant
paransal sinuses communicate with nasal cavity directly or indirectly through the middle nasal meatus or the sinuses communicate with ethomoid meatuses in the caudal nasal cavity
openings into and out of the sinuses
narrow and easily blocked (fluid no longer can pass out of the sinus)
sinuses are susceptible to infection from what sources
from nasal cavity
from alveolar spaces (teeth)
what are the possible functions of the paranasal sinuses
- enlarge skull areas available for muscular attachment and to make room for large teeth without increasing weight of head
- thermal and mechanical protection
- moisten air
- affect resonance of the voice
what paransal sinuses does the dog have
frontal and maxillary
what paranasal sinuses does the horse have
frontal maxillary palatine sphenoid conchal
what paranasal sinuses does the ox have
frontal maxillary lacrimal palatine (large) sphenoid conchal *same in ruminants, but smaller palatine*
where is the frontal sinus located in the horse
between internal and external plates of frontal bone
frontal sinus of the horse is separated into what
right and left sinuses by a bony median septum
what are the rostral extensions of the frontal sinus in the horse
from level of temporomandibular joint to beyond the orbit;
what are the lateral extensions of the frontal sinus in the horse
into zygomatic process of frontal bone
frontal sinus is continous rostromedially with ________
dorsal conchal sinus (together called the conchofrontal sinus)
is there an opening of conchofrontal sinus into nasal cavity
no direct opening into nasal cavity
frontal sinus communicates with the caudal maxillary sinus via the
frontomaxillary opening
where is the frontomaxillary opening in the horse located
between the medial angle of the eye and the median plane
what is the caudal surgical boundary (horse) of the conchofrontal sinus
transverse plan through zygomatic process of frontal bone
what is the rostral surgical boundary (horse) of the conchofrontal sinus
transverse plane midway between rostral margin of the orbit and infraorbital foramen
what is the medial surgical boundary (horse) of the conchofrontal sinus
line 2 cm lateral and parallel to the dorsal midline
what is the lateral surgical boundary of the conchofrontal sinus (horse)
line connecting supraorbital foramen with rostral end of medial limit
what is the largest sinus in the horse
maxillary
maxillary sinus of the horse is divided into what parts
rostral and caudal sinuses (no communication between the two)
