Article Synopsis
- Congenital portosystemic shunts in foals are uncommon, with few documented cases, and prior reports lack detailed descriptions of their characteristics.
- This study presents the first detailed computed tomography angiography (CTA) visualization of an extra-hepatic splenocaval shunt in a 1-month-old colt showing neurological symptoms and hyperammonemia.
- The surgery to ligate the abnormal vessel was unsuccessful, leading to the euthanization of the foal, highlighting the importance of CTA in diagnosing and planning treatment for suspected portosystemic shunts in foals.
