Morphological irregularity of tracheal rings in horses, associated or not with cervical malformation
With the purpose of verifying the existence of irregularities in the tracheal rings of horses and correlating it with the presence of equine cervical vertebral malformation, 45 horses were used, including males and females of different breeds, distributed in two groups. The first group consisted of...

| Summary: | With the purpose of verifying the existence of irregularities in the tracheal rings of horses and correlating it with the presence of equine cervical vertebral malformation, 45 horses were used, including males and females of different breeds, distributed in two groups. The first group consisted of horses with congenital cervical lesions (GI 10 animals) and the second group composed of horses with non-congenital cervical lesions (GII 35 animals). The first group consisted of horses with cervical lesions of congenital origin (GI 10 animals) and the second group composed of horses with non-congenital cervical lesions (GII 35 animals). Animals were from different parts of Brazil and treated in a private practice over the period of 2019-2023. It was observed that both horses without congenital lesions and those with congenital lesions had tracheal rings of different shapes that did not compromise air flow in the animals studied, and also that all animals with congenital lesions in the cervical vertebrae had a “ridge” in the dorsal portion of the tracheal rings. This was an initial study and we believe that further investigation should be carried out.
