“…1 Eversion or inversion has been reported in dogs, cats and a goat, but not in equine species. 6 Eversion of this structure interferes with the palpebral movement and the normal function of the ocular surface. Therefore, micro-surgical adjustment to the position of the nictitans membrane to restore the gliding function of the membrane during blinking is recommended.…”

A 2‐month‐old, Spanish, purebred foal was presented with bilateral eversion of the nictitans membranes. The foal was assessed and surgery performed at the age of 4 months. Standing surgery was performed in order to dissect and resect the everted cartilage and achieve a normal position of both nictitating membranes. Local anaesthesia was achieved using periocular regional anaesthesia and a sub‐nictitans block under each nictitans membrane. This helped control surgical discomfort of the patient and avoided, in this patient, retraction of the globe. Immediately postoperatively, the nictitans membranes were in normal anatomic position. The patient was evaluated 10 months later and both nictitans membranes remained in situ and with normal dorsotemporal gliding movement over each eye.

PurposeTo describe the first report of third eyelid cartilage eversion in an adult American Quarter Horse mare.Case PresentationA 22‐year‐old American Quarter Horse mare presented to the University of Missouri Veterinary Health Center Equine Hospital for a 2‐week history of a third eyelid cartilage abnormality of the left eye with no known recent trauma. Complete ophthalmic examination revealed third eyelid cartilage eversion of the left nictitans. The abnormal scrolled cartilage was surgically excised using a handheld cautery unit and submitted for histopathologic evaluation.ResultsHistopathologic findings displayed normal third eyelid cartilage, without evidence of neoplasia or inflammation. Mucosal hyperplasia and increased vascularity of the submucosa were observed. The horse healed well after electrocautery excision and normal third eyelid conformation was restored.ConclusionTo the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of an acquired, presumed spontaneous, third eyelid cartilage eversion in a horse.

Surgical correction of third eyelid cartilage eversion in an Anglo‐Nubian goat: A case report

Abstract: This case of everted third eyelid cartilage in a goat demonstrates that everted cartilage occurs in animals other than domestic dogs and cats. Everted cartilage in the goat can be treated successfully with surgical excision of the abnormally bent cartilage.
