Plain-English summary
A Standardbred colt was brought in for noisy breathing (stridor) caused by a cyst in his paranasal sinuses. The cysts are fluid-filled cavities that can develop in horses and can lead to issues with the permanent tooth buds. Although the colt's immediate symptoms were addressed, the long-term effects on his dental health need to be monitored for a better prognosis.

Abstract
Sinus cysts are epithelium-lined, fluid-filled cavities that can occur in the paranasal sinuses of horses. Extensive damage to the permanent tooth buds was a significant feature in this case. The sequellae of these abnormalities, although not apparent at the time of presentation, remain an important consideration for prognosis.
