“…MRI has previously been used to identify a periorbital wooden foreign body embedded in the masseter muscle, and its precise localization, in a horse with chronic ocular discharge (Santos et al., ). Better knowledge of the orbital cavity, its delimitations and its relationships are also important in traumatic injuries where ocular prosthetic devices are considered (Michau and Gilger, ).…”

Traumatic and infectious diseases of the eye and orbit can occur in horses. For diagnosis and monitoring of such diseases, medical imaging is useful including computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The aim of the current study was to describe CT and MRI anatomy of the equine orbit and ocular globe. The heads from four adult horses were scanned with a 6-slice Emotion 6 CT (Siemens, Erlangen), and a 3.0 Tesla Siemens Verio 6 MRI using T1 and T2-weighted sequences. To validate CT and MR reference images, these were compared with anatomical models and gross anatomical sections. The bony limits of the orbital cavity, the relationship of the orbit with sinuses and foramina of the skull were well identified by CT. MRI was useful to observe soft tissues and was able to identify adnexae of the ocular globe (eyelids, periorbital fat, extraocular muscles, lacrymal and tarsal glands). Although MRI was able to identify all components of the eye (including the posterior chamber), it could not differentiate sclera from choroid and retina. The only nerve identified was the optic nerve. Vessels were not seen in this series of cadaver heads. This study showed that CT and MRI are useful techniques to image the equine orbit and eye that can have clinical applications.

“…Surgical options for treatment of a painful eye vary in cosmesis from simple enucleation with primary closure of the eyelids, which may be performed using a transpalpebral or transconjunctival approach in horses, to procedures considered more cosmetically acceptable. These include placement of a prosthetic globe behind permanently closed eyelids, placement of a prosthesis inside the horse's own corneoscleral shell and placement of a removable scleral conformer over a prosthesis permanently sutured behind a closed conjunctival layer (Meek 1988;Provost et al 1989;Hamor et al 1992Hamor et al , 1993Beard and Wilkie 2002;Gilger et al 2003;Michau and Gilger 2004).

“…Although corneoscleral prostheses improve cosmesis after enucleation, the lack of ocular motility decreases the cosmetic result. Recently, extraocular muscle attachment to hydroxyapatite (HA) covered with donor sclera was performed after enucleation in horses, and some movement of the corneoscleral prosthesis was confirmed after fitting 8,9 …”
