| Popis: | This case report describes a 16-year-old jumping stallion that had a marked swelling over the left antebrachial area along with substantial lameness after a fall. The horse was weight bearing but lame (4/5; AAEP scale) at the walk with marked enlargement in the caudal aspect of the antebrachial region. After a static musculoskeletal examination, radiography and ultrasonography the horse was diagnosed with flexor muscle myopathy and presumptive extremity compartment syndrome. Following medical treatment, the horse improved clinically over several days. Six-months post injury the horse showed flexor muscle atrophy but was sound at the walk and trot. The horse was presented again 3 months later with an enlargement of the palmar left metacarpus that was diagnosed as a superficial digital flexor tendonitis. This report describes the episodes from the onset of extremity compartment syndrome until the superficial digital flexor tendonitis, discusses anatomical features of the region, physiopathology of compartment syndrome and the possible biomechanics behind the flexor muscle atrophy and the tendonitis. |
