| Popis: | The importance of the equine thoracolumbar vertebral column in orthopaedic disorders is well recognized and diagnostic imaging becomes more feasible, but little is known about variations in the anatomical configuration within breeds. In this descriptive post‐mortem study, anatomical variations in three widely differing breeds: Warmblood horses, Shetland ponies and semi‐feral Konik horses are described. The caudal cervical (C), thoracic (T), lumbar (L) and sacral (S) regions of the vertebral column of 30 Warmblood horses, 29 Shetland ponies and 18 Konik horses were examined using computed tomography and visualized by volume rendering. Homologous/morphologic variations in the caudal cervical area were frequently seen in Warmblood horses (43%), which was significantly more than in the other breeds (p Volume rendering (VR) reconstruction image of the ventral aspect of the lumbar vertebrae of a Warmblood horse (gelding, 8y7m) with sacralization of the last lumbar (L6) vertebra by fusion with the first sacral vertebra (S1), and ankylosis of the right intertransverse joint between L4 and L5 (*) |
