Plain-English summary
A nine-and-a-half-year-old thoroughbred gelding was brought in because he had a nosebleed on one side. The problem was found to be a growing mass of blood in the left maxillary sinus, which is an area near the nose. This type of mass has usually started in a different part of the horse's nasal area in past cases. After surgery to remove the mass, the horse seemed to be completely cured.
Abstract
A nine-and-a-half-year-old three quarters thoroughbred gelding was presented with unilateral epistaxis. The cause was a destructive, progressive haematoma in the left maxillary sinus. In all previous reports of progressive haematomata in the equine nasal cavity, the site of origin has been the ethmoidal labyrinth. Surgical removal of the progressive haematoma resulted in an apparent cure.
