| 中文描述 | 於一系列馬在驗屍時研究正在加粗的食道末端部分,主要涉及肌膜環狀層而沒有纖維化或是炎症反應被觀察到,有時和腸道其他部分的肥大相關.幾乎於所有案例這是附帶的發現,但是於罕見的例子有相關食道官能不良症狀出現.這也許是馬吞嚥的問題的原因. |
| 英文描述 | In a series of horses studied at necropsy thickening of the distal portion of the esophagus mainly involving the circular layer of the tunica muscularis without fibrosis or inflammation was observed, sometimes in association with hypertrophy of other parts of the intestinal tract. In almost all cases this was an incidental finding but in rare instances there were associated signs of esophageal dysfunction. This might be a cause of equine swallowing problems. |
