Implication

May alert equine clinicians to undetected congenital defects in adult aortic hematoma cases; hypothesis-generating for TOF associations and needs validation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
1 adult mare with tetralogy of Fallot and ascending aortic aneurysm presenting with sustained tachycardia and a 5 days history of mild intermittent colic, depression, inappetence and weight loss

This case report describes the first known association of tetralogy of Fallot with an ascending aortic aneurysm in an adult horse, highlighting that congenital abnormalities may remain unnoticed for years.
