Decreased performance as well as fatal complications relate to this syndrome. The objective of our study was to determine the prevalence of gastric ulceration in a mixed population of horses by postmortem examination and to evaluate a possible association between equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS) and sex or age of the examined horses, to evaluate the localisation of lesions in the proximal part of the gastrointestinal tract and to determine the occurrence of gastric parasites. Post-mortem examinations were performed on 71 horses over a period of 24 months. Gastric ulcers were found in 52 horses (73.2%). There was no significant association between age or sex and occurrence of gastric ulcers. In all horses the squamous mucosa lesions were localised near the<jats:italic>margo plicatus<\/jats:italic>(100% of the cases), whereas in 23 horses the lesions were near the<jats:italic>margo plicatus<\/jats:italic>and lesser curvature and in 7 horses at the greater curvature. In 18 horses the mucosa was affected in the whole extent of the<jats:italic>margo plicatus<\/jats:italic>and in 1 horse diffuse lesions of the squamous mucosa were noted. Lesions of the glandular mucosa were localised in 11 horses at the fundic area, in 1 horse they occurred in the pylorus, and in 10 horses diffuse lesions of the glandular mucosa were recorded. A low prevalence of<jats:italic>Gasterophilus intestinalis<\/jats:italic>infection was detected (1 horse, 1.4%). We have confirmed that gastric ulcers are a common problem in horses and duodenal or oesophageal ulceration is rare (not a single case of the latter was found in this study). Lesions in the glandular mucosa of the stomach are more frequent in suckling foals than in older animals. Lesions of the glandular mucosa are also common in adult horses, and a complete gastroscopic examination including examination of the pylorus is advisable to evaluate this syndrome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1556\/avet.55.2007.2.10","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,3]],"date-time":"2007-05-03T20:25:21Z","timestamp":1178223921000},"page":"241-249","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Pathomorphological study on gastroduodenal ulceration in horses: Localisation of lesions"],"prefix":"10.1556","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Barbora","family":"Bezdekova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences Brno Department of Internal Medicine, Equine Clinic, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Palackeho 1-3 612 42 Brno Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Jahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences Brno Department of Internal Medicine, Equine Clinic, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Palackeho 1-3 612 42 Brno Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Vyskocil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences Brno Institute of Genetics, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Palackeho 1-3 612 42 Brno Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"425","reference":[{"key":"1","first-page":"1967","article-title":"Idiopathic gastroesophageal reflux disease in an adult horse","volume":"224","author":"Baker S.
