This report describes a renal ultrasonographic abnormality (medullary rim sign), which was identified in 2 separate cases of spontaneously occurring disease associated with chronic and acute overdosage of phenylbutazone therapy. In horses, medullary rim sign has only been documented in neonatal foals experimentally administered large doses of phenylbutazone.
