Equine neuroaxonal dystrophy (eNAD) is a common neurologic disorder affecting many breeds of
horses. The disease is progressive and is characterized by symmetrical ataxia, abnormal stance or posture
at rest, and proprioceptive deficits in all limbs. EDM was first described by Drs. Mayhew, deLahunta and Whitlock in
1977. Clinical signs usually develop by 6 six to 12 months of age and are characterized as upper motor neuron and general
proprioceptive tract lesions. Affected horses often have low serum α-tocopherol concentrations. Equine NAD is clinically
indistinguishable from equine degenerative myeloencephalopathy (EDM); the only difference between these disorders is the
location of axonal degeneration within the central nervous system.
