“…Moreover, the location of the fluid‐filled cyst‐like lesion in the proximal aspect of the DFTS is consistent with that described by Crawford et al . (). Another possible term that could have been considered is synoviocoele, a cavity originating from disruption of both fibrous and synovial layers of a congenital structure (Minshall and Wright ).…”

“…Fluid‐filled cyst‐like structures associated with the digital flexor tendon sheath (DFTS) are uncommon in horses but can cause lameness or be a cosmetic concern (Crawford et al . ). These structures can be classified as synovial hernia, synovial ganglion or synoviocoele, however debate exists regarding the terminology.…”

“…Crawford et al . () reported a case series of fluid‐filled masses associated with the DFTS that were treated by surgical excision. Clinical and histological finding were reported and were consistent with ganglion cysts of traumatic origin.…”

Summary A 6‐year‐old Highland pony gelding was presented with severe left fore (LF) limb lameness of acute onset. The lameness occurred concomitantly with mild digital flexor tendon sheath (DFTS) effusion and focal painful swelling on the lateral aspect of the LF fetlock region. Clinical examination and diagnostic analgesia localised the lameness to the fetlock region and on ultrasound, a cyst‐like structure filled with anaechoic fluid was detected just proximal to the lateral sesamoid bone, at the proximo‐lateral aspect of the DFTS and adjacent to the lateral neurovascular bundle. Communication between the cyst‐like structure and the DFTS was suspected ultrasonographically and then confirmed with contrast tenography. Tenoscopic examination of the LF DFTS was performed and the communication between the fluid‐filled structure and the synovial cavity was detected. The defect in the DFTS wall was enlarged tenoscopically and the lining of the cyst‐like structure was debrided. The horse recovered well post‐operatively and was back in work with no evident lameness 8 months after surgery. This alternative minimally invasive surgical treatment had an excellent outcome and has the advantage of reducing the risk associated with en bloc resection.

“…Die Lavage im Rahmen einer Tendovaginoskopie unter Vollnarkose hat verschiedene Vorteile: ▶ longitudinale Läsionen der tiefen Beugesehne [21] ▶ Tendinitis der oberflächlichen Beugesehne [16] ▶ Tendinitis der tiefen Beugesehne [3] ▶ Ruptur der Manica flexoria [8,9] ▶ Desmitis der distalen Sesambeinbänder ▶ Ruptur der Sehnenscheide [18] ▶ synoviale Ganglionzysten [4] ▶ Desmitis des Ligamentum interse- [8]. Allerdings ist auch hier eine sichere präoperative Diagnosestellung allein sonografisch meist nicht möglich.…”

“…Ganglion cysts are relatively common in humans [7], however, only a small number of cases (including a horse [3] and several dogs [2, 4, 8]) have been reported in the veterinary literature. To our knowledge, MR images of ganglion cysts formation relating to the canine stifle joint have not been previously reported.…”

A 10-year-old, neutered male Labrador retriever presented with progressive left hind lameness. Ultrasonography revealed large, subcutaneous, ovoid cysts around the stifle joint. Radiographic and computed tomographic images revealed periosteal reaction of the distal femur. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed a large cyst that was hypointense in T1-weighted images, hyperintense in T2-weighted images and had a thin lining that was enhanced by intravenous gadonium injection. The cyst communicated with the joint cavity and other small cysts around the joint. Histopathology of an excisional biopsy specimen led to diagnosis of ganglion cyst. This report provides MR images of a ganglion cyst in a canine stifle.

Digital Sheath Synovial Ganglion Cysts in Horses

Abstract: The histologic appearance of ganglion cysts suggests that they arise from trauma to the sheath wall and may subsequently be a cause of lameness.
