18
Q

ethmoid hematoma treatment

A

remove via sinus flap, +/- cryo/laser sx

do sx standing due to blood loss

laser ablation

formalin injection

comes back

19

uni/bilateral discharge from guttural pouch openings

usually secondary to URT infection, extension of Strep inf

ISOLATE horse

cnodroids form

21
Q

guttural pouch empyema clinical signs

A

intermittent nasal d/c

swelling of adjacent LNs

parotid swelling and pain

extended head carriage due to pain

22
Q

guttural pouch empyema diagnosticcs

A

endoscopy, radiographs, C&S

23
Q
A

guttural pouch empyema

24
Q
A

radiograph of chondroids

guttural pouch empyema

25
Q

Guttural pouch empyema treatment

A

medical: daily irrigation, +/- abx, +/- acetylcysteine
surgical: create drainage, remove chondroids

if approaching ventrally, be careful of the hypoglossal nerve

26
Q

which disease is least likely to show fluid line on radiograph?

guttural pouch empyema

nasal adenocarcionma

dehorning sinusitis

maxillary tooth root infection

A

nasal adenocarcinoma

27
Q

a sinus flap can be useful for all but:

treating an ethmoid hematoma

treating guttural pouch empyema

diagnosing conchal cyst

diagnosing a maxillary sinus tumor

A

treating guttural pouch empyema

28
Q

guttural pouch mycosis

A

hemorrhagic nasal discharge

fungus enters pouch

grows over an artery for nutrition

erodes artery

29
Q

guttural pouch mycosis

clinical signs

A

uni/bilateral epistaxis

anemia

nerve damage: IX, X, XII

death due to exsanguination

30
Q

guttural pouch mycosis diagnostics

A

endoscopy

+/- culture

PCV/TPP

31
Q
A

guttural pouch mycosis

32
Q

guttural pouch mycosis treatment

A

medical: mechanil removal of plaques, cryotherapy, lavage system + antifungals, blood transfusion
surgical: occlude affected artery so fungus dies

33
Q

surgical tx of guttural pouch mycosis

A

circle of Willis–>directional blood flow

need to occlude from both directions

50% fatal hemorrhage if only one side

34
Q

prognosis

A

dysphagia may take 6-18 months to recover
