Ischemic optic neuropathy accompanied by blindness was induced in 2 horses after surgical occlusion of the external and internal carotid and greater palatine arteries, performed as part of the management of guttural pouch mycosis. The blindness was acute and unilateral and may have been caused by ischemic retinal damage. Vascular occlusion is a recommended procedure for treatment of guttural pouch mycosis. Retinal damage and blindness are a possible complication if all possible sources of hemorrhage are occluded.
在2匹马中，作为咽囊霉菌病治疗的一部分，在手术结扎颈外动脉、颈内动脉和腭大动脉后诱发了伴有失明的缺血性视神经病变。失明是急性且单侧的，可能是由视网膜缺血性损伤引起的。血管闭塞是治疗咽囊霉菌病的推荐方法。如果所有可能的出血源都被闭塞，视网膜损伤和失明是一种可能的并发症。
