'''A day old thoroughbred foal is presented with this deformity:
<FlashCard questions="3">
|q1= What is this condition and what syndrome may it be a part of?
|a1=
*A severe case of Wrynose - a congenital deformity, usually of the upper jaw, where the
rostral facial structures are deviated.
*In this relatively uncommon syndrome, there are a variety of combinations of congenital appendicular and axial skeletal contractures and curvatures in the affected foal. Some cases of wrynose are thought to be due to uterine malpositioning.
|l1= Wry Nose
|q2= What are the main complications in dealing with such foals?
|a2=
*Maxillary–mandibular malocclusion is common
*In severe cases cleft palate may also occur. Although many foals suck normally, this particular foal did not and an indwelling naso-oesophageal tube was inserted. Due to the possibility of poor
consumption of colostrum and aspiration of milk, secondary infections and bacterial septicaemias can occur.
|l2= Wry Nose
|q3= How would you treat this condition?
|a3=
*Mild deformities may resolve spontaneously with growth.
*Surgical treatment is indicated in severe cases like this.
|l3= Wry Nose
