ABSTRACT
Sarchahi AA, Ahmadi N., Central vestibular
disease associated with Horner’s syndrome in a kitten, Onl
J Vet Res., 17 (12):613-618, 2013. A 45-day old female domestic short-haired (DSH) cat
was referred due to lack of balance. Its history was unknown but clinical
examination showed delayed postural reactions on the right-side limbs. Right
eye menace reflex was absent but pupillary light reflex (PLR) was normal. Also,
there was obvious miosis, third eyelid protrusion,
and decreased palpebral fissure in the right eye. The cat became wasted and
died the next day. At necropsy there were no visible gross lesions in any
organ. Microscopically, hemorrhagic foci were observed in the cerebrum and
cerebellum. Based on the symptoms and central vestibular system lesions, a
diagnosis of Horner's syndrome on the right side was postulated.
Key words: Horner’s syndrome, central vestibular disease, cat,
postural reactions
