“…There has also been a report of acute ECS development in the stifle region of a Holstein cow following biopsy of an intramuscular haemangiosarcoma (Vogel et al . ). In equine medicine, ECS is most commonly reported associated with post‐anaesthetic myopathy, particularly in the gluteal and triceps muscles (Sullins et al .…”

“…Femoral compartment syndrome secondary to intramuscular haemangiosarcoma has been described in two dogs (Bar-Am et al 2006;Radke et al 2006). There has also been a report of acute ECS development in the stifle region of a Holstein cow following biopsy of an intramuscular haemangiosarcoma (Vogel et al 2012). In equine medicine, ECS is most commonly reported associated with postanaesthetic myopathy, particularly in the gluteal and triceps muscles (Sullins et al 1987;Dodman et al 1988;Norman et al 1989;Kobluk 1995), but has been described in the forelimb antebrachial region of two horses secondary to trauma at pasture (Nelson et al 2015).…”

Summary A 12‐year‐old Thoroughbred cross Dartmoor mare was referred to the clinic with marked lameness and swelling involving the left stifle region. There was poor initial response to medical management and arthroscopic examination of the stifle joint was performed under general anaesthesia. Following surgery, the lameness and swelling worsened and extremity compartment syndrome was suspected. A multimodal analgesia protocol was instigated to provide adequate analgesia and improved mobility, aiding the use of physical therapy in resolving the swelling. This report demonstrates the successful combination of nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatories, paracetamol, ketamine infusion and epidural opioid administration to manage the clinical signs. The mare was discharged from hospital after 15 days and at short‐term follow‐up (3 months), there was no reported residual swelling or lameness.

Zusammenfassung SummaryThis two-part review presents an overview of peripheral-limb pareses in cattle, which represent the most frequent bovine neurologic disorder and are mostly caused by trauma of specific peripheral nerves. Occurrence, etiology, diagnosis, prognosis and therapy are presented. The first part of the review describes general causes for peripheral limb pareses in cattle. Furthermore, a detailed overview of specific peri pheral nerve damages of the fore-and hindlimbs is presented.

CASE DESCRIPTION A5.5-year-old sexually intact male Bull Terrier was referred for evaluation because of sudden facial swelling and an inability to close its mouth. CLINICAL FINDINGS Physical examination revealed bilaterally elevated nictitating membranes, an inability to adduct the mandible without assistance, and severe, diffuse, firm masticatory muscle swelling. Computed tomographic examination of the head revealed symmetric bilateral enlargement of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles with heterogeneous contrast enhancement. Intracompartmental pressures in the left and right temporalis muscles as measured with an invasive arterial blood pressure transducer were 72 and 96 mm Hg, respectively. TREATMENT AND OUTCOME Emergent fasciotomy of the temporalis and masseter muscles was performed, followed by medical management with corticosteroids and analgesics. The diffuse facial swelling resolved within 1 week after surgery. Results of serologic testing for antibody against masticatory 2M muscle fibers were negative. Results of histologic examination of temporalis muscle specimens were consistent with mild to moderate multifocal neutrophilic and histiocytic myositis with myofiber degeneration and necrosis. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Acute compartmental syndrome should be considered as a differential diagnosis for dogs with a sudden onset of severe skeletal muscle swelling, signs of pain, and dysfunction. Findings for this dog with acute compartmental syndrome isolated to the masticatory muscles suggested that emergent fasciotomy followed by medical management may be an effective technique for treatment of this rare disease in dogs.
