Ultrasound Findings in Horses With Severe Eyelid Swelling: Nine Cases

摘要

Visual inspection of the globe is not often possible in horses with severe blepharedema. Ultrasonography provides a means to evaluate the globe, eyelid, and periorbital region. This paper describes the sonographic findings, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome for horses with severe blepharedema. Dacryoadenitis as a previously undescribed cause of acute blepharedema is discussed.
