Abstract

The purpose of this research reflects the development process of secondary sinusitis in horses regardingthe topographic-anatomical preconditions for unilateral involvement of the all six sinusеs complex. The medicalanamnesis and diagnostic imaging tests conducted previously in a veterinary clinic in Germany were used. Thehead of the mare was examined by X-ray radiography and computed tomography (CT) methods after its death.Тhe following procedure included a treatment of the skull and the established osteolytic alterations have beencompared by us with those obtained from the X-ray images and CT scans, as well as the applied CT slices and3D reconstructions of the alive patient. This prominent clinical case reveals an opportunity for an interpretationof the expansion and complications of sinusitis in horses with an emphasis on the anatomical characteristics ofthe sinuses, visualized by diagnostic imaging methods. Through this study we hope to contribute to the timelydiagnosis and treatment of the paranasal sinuses inflammation in horses.
