Horner's syndrome associated with parotid duct obstruction in a sheep

Araceli Loste et al. Can Vet J. 2006 Dec.

Abstract
in English, French

A 9-year old, Rasa Aragonesa ewe was presented with a left-sided, facial, soft fluctuant swelling. The postmortem examination showed grass awns filling the entire length of the parotid gland duct. The presence of parotid duct obstruction with Horner's syndrome, previously unreported in sheep, is discussed.

Syndrome de Claude Bernard-Horner associé à une obstruction du canal parotidien chez un mouton. Une brebis Rasa Aragonesa âgée de 9 ans a été présentée avec une tuméfaction faciale molle et mobile du côté gauche. L’examen post mortem a montré des barbes de graminées remplissant toute la longueur du canal parotidien. La présence d’une obstruction du canal parotidien accompagnée du syndrome de Claude Bernard-Horner, jusqu’ici non rapporté chez le mouton, est discutée.
