  • Title: Portal vein anomaly and hepatic encephalopathy in a horse.
    Author: Beech J, Dubielzig R, Bester R.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1977 Jan 15; 170(2):164-6. PubMed ID: 833038.
    Abstract:
    Periodic episodes of diffuse central nervous system disease occurred in a yearling Thoroughbred gelding that had a history of frequent respiratory tract disease and stunted growth. Hepatic encephalopathy was diagnosed on the basis of history, clinical signs, prolonged bromsulphalein clearance, and increased blood ammonia content. Because of the poor prognosis and recurrent clinical signs the horse was euthanatized. Necropsy revealed an arteriovenous anomaly and thrombosis of the portal vein. Histologically, there was diffuse primary astrocytosis of the brain.
