A rare inflammatory aural polyp was identified and removed from a young horse. This case report details the successful traction-avulsion removal, resolving the horse's symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Equine Health
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Aural polyps are common in companion animals and humans.
  • Their occurrence in horses has not been previously documented in veterinary literature.

Observation:

  • A 1-year-old Standardbred filly presented with clinical signs of otorrhea (ear discharge) and head rubbing.
  • Physical examination revealed an inflammatory aural polyp within the affected ear canal.

Findings:

  • The aural polyp was successfully removed using a traction-avulsion technique.
  • Following the surgical removal, the filly exhibited no further signs of otorrhea.

Implications:

  • This case represents the first reported instance of an aural polyp in a horse.
