ABSTRACT Muscle injuries are often reported in humans, but uncommon in dogs. The etiology is degenerative or traumatic, and traumatic is more common in athletes. The diagnosis is obtained by a combination of orthopedic physical examination and imaging diagnosis, such as ultrasonography. Therapy aims to optimize healing and avoid complications. The present study reports a case of partial rupture of thigh adductor muscle in a dog presenting acute lameness of the right pelvic limb. Swelling and pain in the medial region of the thigh was noticed. Ultrasound examination confirmed partial rupture of the thigh adductor muscle. The treatment included non-steroid anti-inflammatory, warm compresses, and rest. Ultrasound examinations were useful in this case to evaluate the progression of the lesion, which was rapid and satisfactory.

Background: The tarsal joint is the third most commonly joint affected by osteochondrosis in dogs. This joint is affected in 4 to 9% of the cases, and in 50% of these cases the disease is bilateral. Radiological signs include defect in the subchondral bone, sclerotic margin, and fragment of mineralized cartilage. Dorsoplantar in flexion and oblique radiologic images are necessary to show tarsal osteochondrosis. Computed tomography avoid overlap of bone structures and allows better visualization of subchondral lesions, showing the exact location, size and number of fragments. The objective of this study is to report a case of bilateral osteochondrosis dissecans in tarsal joint in Rottweiler.Case: A female Rottweiler was examined and presented a history of pain and difficulty in raising the pelvic limbs. There was pain in the right tibiotarsal joint (RTJ) with evident joint cracking and, after three months, the left pelvic limb started to show the same signs. Radiographic examination of the RTJ showed a small osteochondral fragment in the distal medial border of the medial malleolus of the tibia, subchondral sclerosis with radiolucent area in the medial malleolus of the tibia, and a small lateral periarticular osteophyte in the intertarsal joint. The left tibiotarsal joint (LTJ) showed mild articular incongruity and minor increase in radiological interlinear space, diffuse sclerosis in the medial malleolus and in the subchondral surface of the trochlear crest. This exam also showed a small radiolucent area in the medial malleolus of the tibia, a small fragment of radiopaque adjacent bone, and minor subchondral bone irregularity in the medial margin of the medial trochlea. The radiographic examination of the RTJ was inconclusive. Computed tomography was requested and suggested the diagnosis of medial osteochondritis dissecans in the distal talus. The most important tomographic signs were irregularity of the subchondral bone in the caudal region of the distal talus associated to isolated bone fragment, irregularity of the distal and caudal portion of the medial malleolus of the tibia associated with the presence of free adjacent osteophyte.Discussion: Only 4 to 9% of the dogs that develop osteochondrosis present this lesion in the tarsus. The Rottweiler is the breed most affected by this disease, such as the subject of this case report, and is also the breed most frequently affected in the lateral region of the tarsus. It is a fast-growing large breed, a common characteristic in animals affected by osteochondrosis. Bilateral cases are most common in young dogs, such as the patient of this case report. Clinical manifestation of pain and lameness is frequent in this type of disease, and lameness can occur in only one of the affected limbs. The dog of this study presented lesion in the medial region of the trochlea of the talus, one of the regions that present high incidence of osteochondrosis. Radiographic examination was efficient to suggest lesions in the medial region of the talus. However, only 10% of the dogs with osteochondrosis of the tarsus are diagnosed by this technique. The definitive diagnosis was not provided by radiographic examinations in this patient. Computed tomography has several advantages over conventional radiography, such as eliminating overlap of structures, decreasing image complexity, and increasing the ability to identify specific structures. This examination allowed us to reach the diagnosis of osteochondrosis dissecans in the right talus of this dog. A scan was not performed on the contralateral limb (LTJ), because the lesions observed on radiographic examination were similar to the lesions observed in the right pelvic limb.

A 15 years young fair girl presented with primary amenorrhoea. Findings on her physical examination included short stature, cubitus valgus, slightly webbed neck, absent of secondary sexual characters, broad chest with widely spaced nipples and absence of pubic & axillary hair. Except for the above, her systemic examination was unremarkable. A gynecological examination failed to reveal any abnormality. Ultrasound examination of abdomen revealed absent uterus and ovaries. Serum T3, T4 were within normal level, but TSH level was in slightly raised. Plasma FSH & LH were high with low estradiol level suggestive of hypergonadotrophic hypogonadism. Karyotyping confirmed the diagnosis of Turner ’s syndrome (45, X0). TAJ 2010; 23(1): 91-94

The most common testicular neoplasms in dogs are seminoma, leydigocytoma and sertolioma, affecting middle--aged and elderly dogs, where cryptorchidism is a predisposing factor, as well as some breeds. It can occur alone or, less fren-quently, concurrently, generally affecting the same testicle. This study aimed to report the case of a non-cryptorchid 14-year--old mixed breed dog diagnosed with seminoma and sertolioma, each in a testicle. The animal showed an increase in scrotal volume, with no changes in other clinical parameters on physical examination. On ultrasound examination, it was possible to observe alterations suggestive of neoplasia in both testicles and prostatic alteration suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Complementary blood count and biochemical tests were performed and, as treatment, orchiectomy was performed. Fragments were collected from both testicles and sent for histopathological examination. Microscopy of the left testicle showed the presence of round cells, multiple and evident nucleoli, cells in different phases of mitosis and binucleation, these changes being compa-tible with seminoma. In contrast, in the right testicle, spindle and elongated cells (pseudo-lobular) were observed, presence of long cytoplasmic projections with rounded ovoid nucleus, spindle cells and degeneration of seminiferous tubules, compatible with sertolioma. It was observed that physical examination associated with ultrasound was efficient to detect the presence of neoplasms, being validated by histopathological examination. Orchiectomy was an assertive treatment indicated for this case.

A three year old female adult albino Python bivittatus weighing 12 kilograms was presented with a chief complaint of right spectacle growth and whitening. The snake also had a respiratory infection which started about 2 weeks prior to being presented. Physical examination showed bubbly nostrils, inflammation on the right eye, inflammation on the right palatum of the oral cavity, and crackling sound during auscultation when exhaling and hissing. The snake was diagnosed with subspectacular abscess and respiratory infection. Spectaculotomy was performed under general and local anesthesia. All abscesses were removed using a sterile sexing probe while continuously flushing the eye. Topical antiseptic was diluted and flushed into the eye before topical antibiotic eye ointment was applied. Post-operative treatment included daily flushing using an intravenous catheter, eye ointment application, and administration of systemic antibiotic and NSAID to treat the co-related respiratory infection. Three weeks after the surgery the snake went through ecdysis, after which the snake regained its appetite and recovery was thereafter significantly improved.

CONTEXT: Supernumerary breast tissue may be affected by the same diseases and alterations that compromise topical breast tissue. Nevertheless, reports of fibroadenoma in supernumerary breast tissue in the axillae are rare. OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of fibroadenoma in an axillary supernumerary breast. DESIGN: Case report. CASE REPORT: A 39-year-old woman was referred to the gynecology and obstetrics outpatient clinic at Hospital Estadual Sumaré, complaining of bilateral axillary masses. The patient reported cosmetic problems and local pain and discomfort. On physical examination, alterations compatible with bilateral axillary accessory breasts, without palpable nodules, were observed. Supplementary examinations (mammography and ultrasonography) revealed a 1.1 cm mass in the right axillary breast. The patient underwent resection of the supernumerary breasts and histopathological examination revealed fibroadenoma of the right axillary breast tissue.

Pisa syndrome is known to be a condition in which there is sustained involuntary flexion of the body and head to one side and slight rotation of the trunk so the person appears to lean like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.The development of Pisa syndrome is most commonly associated with prolonged treatment with antipsychotics. Although less frequently, Pisa syndrome has been reported, in patients who are receiving other medications (such as cholinesterase inhibitors and antiemetics), in those not receiving medication (idiopathic Pisa syndrome) and also patients with neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease and multiple system atrophy.We report a case of a 67 year- old male diagnosed with Schizophrenia for 20 years. He has been following a treatment with Clozapine 400 mg/day for 4 years. Amisulpiride was added to the established regimen of antipsychotic and increased during the last month reaching the doses of 600 mg/day. Three weeks later he was observed walking with a tilt toward the right. A first physical examination revealed sustained tonic flexion of the trunk to the right side. No deficits or mental status changes during neurological exploration were shown. We prescribed biperidene hydrochloride therapy. After 24 hour side effects disappeared.As far as we know, no many cases of amisulpride-induced Pisa syndrome in the literature have been reported. This abstract presents a case of amisulpride induced Pisa syndrome.

Tietze’s Syndrome: A Case Report Tietze syndrome (TS) is a rare inflammatory arthropathy characterized by tenderness, pain, and non-purulent swelling of the costosternal, costochondral and sternoclavicular joints. It often involves the costosternal joints and sternoclavicular jointinvolvement is rare. In this case report, we present a 72-year-old female patient suffering from pain and swelling in the right upper chest wall fo rabout 2 years. Physical examination revealed tenderness in the right sternoclavicular joint and an approximately 2x2 cm moderate swelling. Ultrasonic imaging of the swelling area revealed increased echogenicity and edema in the right sternoclavicular joint area. Laboratory findings were normal. The patient was diagnosed with TS and a local injection of a corticosteroid and local anesthetic mixture was administered. The patient’s complaints decreased significantly after the infiltration. In this case report, we present a TS case with sternoclavicular joint involvement that we treated with local injection. Keywords: Tietze’s syndrome, sternoclavicularjoint, costochondritis

Adrenal myelolipomas (AMLs) are rare benign adrenal tumours containing adipose and hematopoietic tissue as a result of reticuloendothelial cell metaplasia. In this case report, we describe the diagnostic evaluation and the operative management of a giant adrenal myelolipoma in a 14-year-old male who has sickle cell anaemia. He presented with a one-week history of bilateral leg swelling. A physical examination revealed a mass in the right lumbar region. Ultrasound of the abdomen revealed a well-defined rounded echo-complex encapsulated supra-renal mass impinging on the upper pole of the right kidney, displacing it downwards. There was also marked compression of the inferior vena cava. A computed tomography scan showed a large mass occupying the right adrenal gland. The patient had an exploratory laparotomy with excision of the right adrenal tumour. Histopathological (Immunohistochemistry) evaluation of the mass confirmed the diagnosis of adrenal myelolipoma. The diagnosis of an adrenal myelolipoma requires a good history, physical examination, a high index of suspicion, imaging techniques, and a thorough histopathological evaluation. Surgery is the main treatment modality and good post-operative management minimizes complications and guarantees rapid recovery.

The objective of this case report was to describe successful surgical and post-operative management of a medial patellar luxation in a Vietnamese Potbellied Pig. A two-year old, castrated, Vietnamese Potbellied Pig presented to a veterinary teaching hospital for right pelvic limb lameness of 2 weeks duration. Upon physical examination a grade 3 patellar luxation was diagnosed on the right pelvic limb. Surgical repair included a trochlear wedge sulcoplasty, tibial tuberosity transposition, and lateral imbrication as described for canine patellar luxation. The pig was managed post-operatively with meloxicam and a physical therapy regimen of seven weeks duration. At recheck examination the pig was sound, no complications were observed, and the owners were satisfied with the outcome. As miniature companion pigs, such as Vietnamese Potbellied Pigs are currently increasing in popularity as pets, this case demonstrated that comparative techniques from other veterinary species should be considered when considering a treatment plan for a pig with a medial patellar luxation.
