  • Title: Neurological signs in a horse due to metastases of an intestinal adenocarcinoma.
    Author: Spoormakers TJ, IJzer J, Sloet van Oldruitenborgh-Oosterbaan MM.
    Journal: Vet Q; 2001 Jan; 23(1):49-50. PubMed ID: 11206003.
    Abstract:
    A 22-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare was referred to Utrecht University with progressive left hind limb paresis and hyporeflexia. The preliminary clinical diagnosis was the neurological form of equine herpes virus (EHV-1) infection. Within 1 day of admission, the mare became recumbent and deteriorated rapidly. Postmortem examination revealed an adenocarcinoma of the caecum, with metastases in all regional lymph nodes and extending from the lumbar nodes into the vertebral canal, causing spinal cord compression and destruction of the left 4th and 5th lumbar nerves.
