BILATERAL HIND-LIMB HYPOPLASIA IN A FOAL

Hypoplasia affecting both hind limbs was observed in a neonatal foal. Scintigraphy aided in establishing diagnosis and prognosis. Radiograph y revealed an abnormally shaped middle phalanx and lack of the distal phalanx and navicular bone in the right hind limb, with an abnormally shaped distal phalanx and navicular bone in the left hind limb. Scinti graphic findings were closely correlated with the radiographic finding s. Radiographic and scintigraphic findings were confirmed at postmorte m examination.
