Abstract
A 6-year-old, 420-kg quarter horse gelding was presented with a 2-month his tory of difficulty swallowing and dyspnea. The horse was diagnosed with a r ight guttural pouch empyema with many large chondroids. Two surgeries were required to completely remove all the chondroids from what proved to be a p rimary distension of the guttural pouch lateral compartment.
