@article { , title = {Pituitary gland abscess in a horse subsequent to head trauma}, abstract = {A 5‐year‐old Thoroughbred gelding with recent history of head trauma presented with multiple facial swellings, bilateral mucopurulent nasal discharge, neck pain, inappetence and depression. On computed tomographic examination, lesions within the pituitary fossa and structures adjacent to the right guttural pouch were identified. Soft tissue swelling was seen in the dorsal aspect of the right guttural pouch surrounding several cranial nerves, with fluid‐like material in the dependent portions of the right guttural pouch. A CSF sample revealed mild mixed pleocytosis and increased protein concentration. The horse had concurrent periapical disease of the 209‐cheek tooth and mild left sinusitis. The horse's demeanour deteriorated requiring euthanasia. Post‐mortem examination revealed a pituitary gland abscess.}, doi = {10.1111/eve.13043}, issn = {0957-7734}, journal = {EQUINE VETERINARY EDUCATION}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Wiley}, url = {https://rvc-repository.worktribe.com/output/1383528}, keyword = {Musculoskeletal Biology, ePrints migration}, year = {2019}, author = {Morgan, R E and Fiske-Jackson, A R and Biggi, M} }
