  • Title: Staphylectomy for treatment of dorsal displacement of the soft palate in two foals.
    Author: Shappell KK, Caron JP, Stick JA, Parks AJ.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1989 Nov 15; 195(10):1395-8. PubMed ID: 2584104.
    Abstract:
    Dorsal displacement of the soft palate associated with dysphagia and aspiration pneumonia was diagnosed in 2 young foals. The displacement appeared to be congenital. Clinical signs associated with the condition were resolved after staphylectomy. Dorsal displacement of the soft palate is usually recognized in adult animals as an upper respiratory tract disease, but may be a contributing factor to dysphagia and lower respiratory tract disease in young animals.
