This article discusses the diagnosis and treatment of extracranial, intracranial, and idiopathic seizures.
Seizures are a diverse and very common set of chronic neurologic disorders in humans and dogs but are less common in horses. Seizures refer to a specific clinical event (described as sudden and severe) regardless of the etiology, which includes both intracranial and extracranial causes. Therefore,
Recently, considerable international attention has been paid to the problem of unwanted horses. In Ireland, stray horses, particularly in urban areas, are a further problem. The Control of Horses Act 1996 was enacted in response to an ongoing problem of uncontrolled horses in public places. As yet,
After being anaesthetised for between one hour 40 minutes and seven hours, five adult horses developed acute neurological signs and extensive cerebrocortical necrosis. Four of them had had abdominal surgery for colic and one had had repeated orthopaedic interventions. Between five hours and seven
OBJECTIVE
To determine the pharmacokinetics of potassium bromide (KBr) in horses after single and multiple oral doses.
METHODS
Twelve adult Standardbred and Thoroughbred mares.
METHODS
Horses were randomly assigned to two treatment groups. Group 1 horses were given a single oral dose of 120 mg/kg
OBJECTIVE
To determine the pharmacokinetics of potassium bromide (KBr) in horses after a single and multiple oral doses.
METHODS
Twelve adult Standardbred and Thoroughbred mares.
METHODS
Horses were randomly assigned into two treatment groups. In Part 1 of the study, horses were given a single oral
BACKGROUND
Short-duration electroencephalography (EEG) recordings in horses are helpful in diagnosing intracranial disorders. Potentially, long-duration ambulatory EEG (AEEG) recordings in horses will enhance the chance of detecting abnormal brain activity independent of the presence of an
Cholesterinic granulomas have been previously reported as an incidental post mortem in horses. Three adult horses with diencephalic dysfunction due to cholesterinic granulomas are described. All the horses exhibited profound depression, somnolence and reluctance to move. One horse experienced
BACKGROUND
Midazolam is used to control seizures in horses and to enhance muscle relaxation, but its pharmacokinetics are unknown.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the pharmacokinetics and sedative effects of midazolam in horses.
METHODS
Blinded, randomised, crossover design.
METHODS
Midazolam was
BACKGROUND
In contrast with reports in man and small animals, a systematic classification of seizures in horses is lacking.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to classify seizures based on their aetiology and to characterise epilepsy in 104 horses presented for seizures at the Ohio State
Four thoroughbred horses showing lameness, ataxia, circling, depression, recumbency, and seizures, were examined. The horses had gross, pale- to dark-red manifestations and foci in the central nervous system (CNS). Multifocal to coalescing eosinophilic necrotizing encephalomyelitis was observed
BACKGROUND
Neuroglycopenia refers to a shortage of glucose in the brain resulting in neuronal dysfunction and death if left untreated. Presumed neuroglycopenia has not been described in horses.
OBJECTIVE
To report neurological signs in horses with presumed neuroglycopenia as the result of severe
A miniature horse which died following humane seizure from an Ontario farm was emaciated with serous atrophy of fat. Autopsy revealed hepatic atrophy and moderate periportal fibrosis. Eggs and trematodes seen in the liver were identified as Dicrocoelium dendriticum. This appears to be the first
Seven related Quarter Horse foals that died by 7 weeks of age were examined for glycogen branching enzyme (GBE) deficiency. Clinical signs varied from stillbirth, transient flexural limb deformities, seizures, and respiratory or cardiac failure to persistent recumbency. Leukopenia (5 of 5 foals) as
