GP Tympany
• Predisposing factors:
– Arab, Paint horse
– filly > colt
– unilat > bilat
• Clinical signs:
– Not painful, air-pillow palp.
– Unilat looks like it is bilat!!
• Diagnosis
– Based on clinical signs
– Endoscopy: pharynx often collaps dorsally
– You can achieve decompression during endoscopy
– Röntgen
13
GP Tympany
• Treatment:
– Foley catheter for 2-3 weeks
– Transendoscopic laser surgery
• Septum fenestration
• Mucus membr. Fold removal from the
med. plica salpingopharyngea

Guttural pouch – clinical
examination
Visual examination:
• Bloody-braunish nasal discharge,
• Excessive nasal bleeding
Palpation
Radiological examination:
– Mycotic plugs
16
Guttural pouch mycosis
Cause: Aspergillus spp.
Symptoms:
• Bloody-braunish nasal discharge,
• Excessive nasal bleeding, more liters!!
• Second, third attemt -> bleeds to death
Treatment:
• Depends on location of mycotic attack
• Arterial occlusion:
– coil embolisation
– Balloon catheter occlusion
17
A: proc. corniculatus – arythenoid cartilage

Functional disorders: pharynx
• Most of them are dynamic
• 30% have multiple disorders
• DDSP

Terminology

• Cornard (French), Corneggio (Italian)
65
Pathogenesis- Hemiplegia laryngis (RLN)
• Idiopatic
• Progressive degeneration of dist. fibres
of NLR sin. (axonopathy)
• Genetic predisposition
• Large horse breeds
• At younger age
– From a few months up to 10 years
66
N. Laryngeus recurrens
Turns back around the aorta arch (just on the left side)

Other causes (≈ 6%)
• Stangles
• Guttural pouch mycosis
• Perivascular inj, Periphlebitis
• Operations (crib biter OP)
• Intoxications, (Led, organophsph.)
• Tumors (neck, thorax)
• CNS (EMND)
69
Clinical signs
70
Increased inspiratory noise
71
Definition: paresis-paralysis of RLN, leading to
m. athrophy, vocal cord collapse and
arythenoid cartilage collapse during inspiration
72
Diagnosis
• Palpation (CAD-atrophy)
• US of the larynx
• Endoscopy at rest
– Abduction following swallowing/closure of the nares
– slap test (contralat. Adductio – Cervicolaryngeal Reflex)
• Dynamic Endoscopy (DRE or treadmill)
• Noise (voiceprint, spectrogram)
• Spirometry
• Lobelin-stimulation
