Congenital oesophageal stricture was diagnosed via endoscopy in a 3-day-old Arabian filly suffering from nasal milk regurgitation. Vascular ring anomaly or other extramural, intramural or intraluminal causes were not identified on radiographs or on a computed tomography scan; thus a functional abnormality was suspected. The filly was treated with antibiotics for aspiration pneumonia and was fed milk through an indwelling nasoesophageal tube. Two sessions of balloon bougienage at the stenotic site, under sedation, resulted in marked clinical improvement and thereafter the filly was gradually reintroduced to suckling from the mare. The filly was discharged from the hospital after 17 days and on follow-up there were no reports of food regurgitation even after the introduction of solid food. The filly was still doing well in the latest follow-up at age 11 months.

Congenital oesophageal stenosis is rarely described in horses. This case report describes a neonatal colt with signs of a milky nasal discharge and cervical swelling present from birth. The diagnostic evaluation revealed a triple oesophageal stricture, identified as congenital fibromuscular oesophageal stenosis. A megaoesophagus was seen cranial to the strictures, but its aetiology remains unexplained. To the authors' knowledge, multiple oesophageal stenosis together with megaoesophagus has not previously been described in the horse.

“…8 Additionally, the use of CT has been reported as a useful diagnostic imaging modality. 4 Advanced diagnostic imaging such as CT angiography may have been beneficial in this case to more accurately define the morphology of the constriction and to identify the patency of the ductus arteriosus; however, further imaging was declined by the owners.…”

“…Onset of clinical signs varies in age with reports from several days to 14 months of age. 4,5 The most common clinical sign in foals is regurgitation of milk, which can be seen with several differential diagnoses, including cleft palate, hypoplasia Figure 1. The esophagus is distended with contrast medium to the level of the cranial aspect of the heart base.…”

HistoryA 9-day-old pony colt was referred for evaluation of tachycardia and tachypnea observed since birth. Gestation and parturition had been normal. Since birth, milk had been observed coming from both nostrils when the foal was in lateral recumbency. During the first week after birth, a mild upper respiratory tract noise developed that was persistent.On evaluation, the foal was bright and alert and in fair body condition. Physical examination revealed a rectal temperature of 38.4°C (101.2°F), a heart rate of 110 beats/min, and a respiratory rate of 80 beats/min. No murmurs or arrhythmias were detected on thoracic auscultation, and bilateral diffuse wheezes were heard over the lung fields. No nasal discharge was observed when suckling; however, copious amounts of milk were seen in both nostrils when the foal was in lateral recumbency. A CBC and serum biochemistry analysis revealed a mildly high plasma fibrinogen concentration of 500 mg/dL (reference range, 100 to 400 mg/dL) and a high serum lactic acid concentration of 54.7 mg/dL (reference range, 4.5 to 18.4 mg/dL). Thoracic radiography was performed with the foal standing (not shown) and in right lateral recumbency (Figure 1).Determine whether additional imaging studies are required, or make your diagnosis from Figure 1-then turn the page →
