Plain-English summary
A 3-year-old horse was found to have a venous aneurysm, which is a bulging in a vein, diagnosed through special X-rays and blood tests taken from both the neck and a swelling near the jaw. When the veterinarians tried to fix the problem with surgery, the vein ruptured, leading to severe bleeding. Unfortunately, this caused the horse to go into shock, and despite efforts to save it, the horse died.
Abstract
Venous aneurysm was diagnosed in a 3-year-old horse, using contrast radiography and acid-base analysis of blood samples taken simultaneously from the right jugular vein and a swelling in the right mandibular angle. Attempted surgical correction was followed by rupture of the right maxillary vein. Hemorrhagic shock developed, and the horse died.
