İki Tayda Sol Larengeal Hemipleji Olgusu

Yarış performansı yönünden olumsuz etkileri bulunan larengeal hemipleji, birçok yarış atında tanımlanmaktadır. Bu olgu sunumlarıyla; taylarda üst solunum yolu hastalığını takiben muhtemel komplikasyon olarak şekillenmiş larengeal hemipleji vurgulanmaktadır. Geçmişinde üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu ilişkili şikayetlerle tedavi edilmiş safkan arap tayları, inspiratorik gürültülü solunum sesi ve egzersiz intolerans anamneziyle muayene edildi. Genel muayene ve tam kan sayımları normal olan hastaların endoskopik değerlendirmelerinde grade III sol larengeal hemipleji teşhis edildi. Hastaların özafagoskopisinde patoloji belirlenmedi. Hastaların her ikisinde de aritenoid kıkırdaklarda kollaps görülmedi. Larengeal hemipleji için operatif uygulamalar kabul edilmedi. Sonuç olarak; üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu geçirmiş taylarda larengeal hemipleji olguları tanımlanmıştır.

Left Laryngeal Hemiplegia Cases in Two Foals

Laryngeal hemiplegia having negative effects on race performance has been defined in most racehorses. The cases presented here point out the laryngeal hemiplegia following upper airway disease in foals as a possible complication. Thoroughbred Arabians foals (having a previous treatment for the symptoms of upper airway infection) with a history of inspiratory whistling/roaring noise and exercise intolerance were examined. Endoscopic applications revealed grade III left laryngeal hemiplegia in cases with normal general health status and complete blood count. Esophagoscopy revealed no visible pathologic changes. There is also no evidence of arytenoid collapse in both cases. Surgery of laryngeal hemiplegia was not approved. The cases presented here reflect the laryngeal hemiplegia following upper airway disease in foals.
