- Abstract
A 19-year-old gelding presented with swelling of the pharyngeal region following evaluation for an episode of colic. Endoscopy, radiography and ultrasonography were utilised in diagnosis of a guttural pouch perforation, secondary to nasogastric intubation. Conservative treatment resulted in a fibrin seal over the perforation. Unfortunately, the horse succumbed to colitis and was subjected to euthanasia before resolution of the injury.
