Severe nonulcerative keratouveitis in horses presents as pink stromal infiltrates and persistent iridocyclitis. Treatment involves topical and systemic anti-inflammatories, with variable success in managing pain and vision.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Ophthalmology
  • Equine Medicine
  • Corneal Pathology

Background:

  • Nonulcerative keratouveitis is a severe ocular condition in horses.
  • Understanding its clinical and pathological characteristics is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • Five horses presented with severe nonulcerative keratouveitis.
  • Corneal lesions featured a distinct pink stromal infiltrate near the limbus.
  • Persistent iridocyclitis was a consistent clinical sign.

Findings:

  • Microscopic examination revealed marked corneal stromal fibrosis in three horses.
  • Mild to severe inflammatory cellular infiltration was observed within the corneal stroma.
  • The pink stromal infiltrate represents a key pathological feature.

Implications:

  • This study highlights the characteristic presentation of severe nonulcerative keratouveitis in horses.
  • Effective treatment strategies require a combination of topical and systemic anti-inflammatory medications.
  • Further research may elucidate specific etiological factors and improve therapeutic outcomes for equine corneal diseases.
