    Summary

    A congenital soft tissue mass caused facial swelling and breathing difficulties in a foal. Surgical removal resolved the obstruction and facial deformity, restoring normal breathing.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Equine Surgery
    • Congenital Abnormalities

    Background:

    • A 17-day-old Standardbred foal presented with congenital right-sided facial swelling and dyspnea.
    • Diagnostic imaging revealed a soft tissue mass within the right nasal passage and associated paranasal sinuses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the diagnosis and surgical management of a congenital sinonasal mass causing upper airway obstruction in a foal.
    • To report the long-term outcome following surgical intervention.

    Main Methods:

    • Radiography and endoscopy were performed for diagnosis.
    • Surgical excision of the mass was achieved via a bone flap approach.
    • Postoperative assessment included clinical and endoscopic evaluation.

    Main Results:

    • A fluid-filled soft tissue mass was successfully removed from the right nasal passage and paranasal sinuses.
    • Postoperative alleviation of dyspnea was observed.
    • Complete resolution of facial deformity by 6 months of age and absence of upper airway obstruction by 17 months of age were noted.

    Conclusions:

    • Congenital sinonasal masses can cause significant upper airway obstruction and facial deformity in foals.
    • Surgical management is effective in resolving these conditions.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention lead to favorable long-term outcomes in affected foals.
