“…Three cases with pDDSP and concurrent EE did not resolve their pDDSP, despite successful treatment of the entrapment (Cases 4, 6 and 7). Laryngoplasty with ventriculocordectomy also appears to be a risk factor for development of pDDSP, as found in 3 cases in this series, and previously reported in 1/41 horses after laryngoplasty by Barnett et al (2015).…”

“…Persistent dorsal displacement of the soft palate (pDDSP) has been defined as a dorsally displaced soft palate observed endoscopically in the resting horse, with no, or only brief replacement of the soft palate into its correct anatomical (subepiglottic) position despite attempts to swallow (Sullivan and Parente 2003;Ortved et al 2009;Barnett et al 2015). Its aetiology is often unknown, but pDDSP is commonly reported as a long-term sequel to subepiglottic surgery in racehorses (Ortved et al 2009), presumably due to fibrosis/cicatrix formation of the subepiglottic soft tissues (Jann and Cook 1985).…”

Summary Persistent dorsal displacement of the soft palate (pDDSP) is a relatively rare equine disorder. This case series reports histories and clinical findings in 8 cases of pDDSP, and outcome after treatment of concurrent epiglottic entrapment (n = 3), laryngeal tie‐forward (n = 6) ± laser staphylectomy (n = 2), and/or sectioning of mucosa ventral to the epiglottis and the hyoepiglotticus muscles (n = 2). Four of 6 horses that underwent tie‐forward ± laser staphylectomy had complete resolution of pDDSP and returned to their previous level of work, as did one horse that had a subepiglottic releasing incision. Correction of concurrent epiglottic entrapment in 3 horses with pDDSP did not result in resolution of pDDSP in any case. Previous laryngeal surgery including laryngoplasty and ventriculocordectomy appear to be risk factors for the development of pDDSP.

“…Grading schemes were taken from the literature [7,[12][13][14][15][16][17] with modification to some schemes in order to give a numerical output for analysis (Supplementary Item 3). Terminology to describe the various URT disorders was chosen based on a published consensus statement [18]. Palatal dysfunction (PD) was used in the present study to describe PI together with the various presentations of dorsal displacement of the soft palate (DDSP, at rest [transient, tDDSP] and during exercise [intermittent, iDDSP]).…”
