==In Horses==
 
 
 
===Nasal septum abnormalities===
 
 
 
*Thickening caused by
 
**Trauma
 
**Infection
 
**[[Nasal Cavity Hyperplastic and Neoplastic - Pathology|Neoplasia of nasal septum]], carcinomas most common
 
**Amyloidosis (below)
 
**[[Wry Nose|Wry nose]]
 
**[[Paranasal Sinuses Inflammatory - Pathology|Empyema]], [[Paranasal Sinuses Hyperplastic and Neoplastic - Pathology|neoplasia]], [[Paranasal sinuses - Pathology|cysts]] of sinuses
 
 
 
 
 
===Nasal amyloidosis===
 
 
 
*Deposition of amyloid in nasal submucosa of horses
 
*Not part of generalised amyloidosis
 
*May extend to [[Larynx - Anatomy & Physiology|larynx]]
 
*Nodular of diffuse
 
*Stenosis may cause obstruction
 
*Smooth surface, waxy sheen on cut surface
 
*Macrophages and lymphocytes, giant cells
 
*May have overlying ulceration of mucosa
 
*Large firm nodules in alar folds, rostral nasal septum and floor of nasal cavity
 
*Micro:
 
**Deposition of hyaline material in nasal mucosa
 
 
 
==Circulatory disturbances==
 
 
 
===Congestion and Hyperaemia===
 
 
 
*Congestion - passive interference with venous return
 
**Non-specific
 
**Commonly found at post-mortem
 
*Hyperaemia - active vasodilation
 
**Associated with early stages of inflammation
 
 
 
 
 
===Haemorrhage===
 
 
 
*Can result from local trauma or just transfer blood from lower down in the respiratory tract (see [[Respiratory System Clinical Signs - Pathology#Epistaxis|epistaxis]])
