Royal (DICK) School of Veterinary Studies. University of Edinburgh
Panellist: Henry Tremaine, Senior Lecturer in Equine Surgery at University of Bristol
Sinusitis is a common disorder in horses and ponies in the UK. Whilst an 'umbrella' diagnosis of sinusitis is relatively easy to make, finding out the cause can be much more difficult. This talk will examine which diagnostic modalities are easy to perform in general practice as well as when it may be useful to refer cases for more complex work-up. Treatment options and prognosis after treatment will also be covered.
Key learning points for this session:
- Aeitiology of sinusitis
- Clinical signs
- Diagnosis: diagnostic modalities available and when they are indicated
- Diagnosis: how to differentiate between different types of sinus pathology
- Treatment options available
- Prognosis after treatment
