Rupture of longus capitis muscle, radiograph, horse
Lateral radiographic projection of a horse with a basilar skull fracture and rupture of the longus capitis muscle. Note the fracture fragment (arrow) in the middle of the guttural pouch, resulting from avulsion from the base of the calvaria. The opacity within the guttural pouch is the result of hemorrhage.
