Dynamic upper respiratory tract (URT) obstructions occur commonly in the equine athlete. Veterinary diagnostic capabilities have improved with the ability to perform endoscopy and to assess URT function during exercise [1]. Several URT abnormalities are reported; these are complex (multiple structures involves) in many cases and became evident only during strenuous exercise [2]. The aims of this study were to describe the clinical features of multiple dynamic obstructions in racehorses. Authors tried to establish which was/were the major abnormalities, and in consequence to identify which ones were the secondary ones.

Abstract
Dynamic upper respiratory tract (URT) obstructions occur commonly in the equine athlete. Veterinary diagnostic capabilities have improved with the ability to perform endoscopy and to assess URT function during exercise [1]. Several URT abnormalities are reported; these are complex (multiple structures involves) in many cases and became evident only during strenuous exercise [2]. The aims of this study were to describe the clinical features of multiple dynamic obstructions in racehorses. Authors tried to establish which was/were the major abnormalities, and in consequence to identify which ones were the secondary ones.File in questo prodotto:
