Typical appointments come and go, keeping us on our toes at all times.
I wanted to share an awesome, and very DISGUSTING case we had come in today. This horse presented to us for a facial swelling on the right side of his face.
As you can tell, this is quite a large, and very easily seen mass. Before even doing anything, Dr. Brown was more or less certain of the diagnosis. It was a paranasal sinus cyst. Why so certain? because no other commonly seen nasal sinus lesion would cause a facial deformity as extreme as this one. After doing a standing nasal flap surgery, in which we drill a hole in the front of the head at the area of the frontal and maxillary sinus, we emptied all the cyst contents and packed it with betadine pads which will be removed in a few days. Dr. Brown hopes that his face will return to a more or less normal shape with time. I have attached a video for all to see of us opening up the sinus and getting rid of the cyst itself but be warned!!!! This video is not for the weak stomach, because is PUS PUS PUS! For all those who like that sort of thing, ENJOY!
