- Abstract
- A ten-year-old Warmblood dressage gelding was presented with acute instability of the nuchal ligament after paddock turnout. Based on the clinical signs, orthopedic and neurologic examination, diagnostic imaging and electromyography, cervical neuromuscular dysfunction of the M. obliquus capitis caudalis on the right side of the neck was diagnosed. Conservative treat-ment including steroidal anti-inflammatory medication in combination with oral supplementation with vitamin B1 and box rest resulted in complete recovery of the horse within six months.
- Een warmbloed-dressuurpaard (ruin) van tien jaar oud werd aangeboden met de klacht van acute instabiliteit van het ligamentum nuchae na vrije beweging in een paddock. Op basis van de klinische presentatie, orthopedisch en neurologisch onderzoek, medische beeldvorming en elektromyografie werd cervicale neuromusculaire disfunctie van de M. obliquus capitis caudalis aan de rechterzijde van de hals vastgesteld. Conservatieve therapie met corticosteroïden in combinatie met orale supplementatie van vitamine B1 en boxrust resulteerden na zes maanden in volledig herstel.
