EquineReview

Introduction: The Equine Review highlights three recently published papers from other journals. This issue's edition describes three studies regarding the role of herpesvirus in pulmonary fibrosis in both horses and humans; the role of symmetric dimethylarginine levels in kidney function analysis in dehydrated horses and the feasibility of balloon catheter occlusion of the maxillary artery, internal and external carotid artery in standing horses.

Internal carotid pseudoaneurysm after transsphenoidal resection of a pituitary adenoma

We present a case of pseudoaneurysm formation after endonasal endoscopic transsphenoidal resection of a pituitary adenoma, with an endovascular treatment proposal: as the patient failed in balloon catheter occlusion test of the internal carotid artery, an alternative model of treatment was proposed,consisting of using detachable coils and placing a stent in the internal carotid artery adjacent to the vascular formation. After a dramatic initial presentation of a massive epistaxis, the patient had a significant improvement after treatment.
