A case of spermatic arteriovenous anastomosis in the horse

J S David et al. Equine Vet J. 1978 Apr.

Abstract

A large anastomosis of the spermatic artery and vein is described. This was found while surgically removing an abdominal testis. Before surgery the animal wanted to rear after exercise and could not stand on 3 legs for any length of time while being shod. This unusual behaviour disappeared after removal of the mass. The performance and conformation of the horse has also greatly improved.
