Abstract
A 12-year-old Saluki was presented with acute lameness and plantar swelling of the right metatarsus following an episode of free running. Radiographs showed soft tissue swelling only, the involved bone and joint structures were unremarkable. The lesion recurred several months later. Ultrasonographic imaging of the lesion revealed a well-vascularized cavernous structure. Subsequent surgical removal and histopathological examination of the structure raised the initial suspicion of an arteriovenous fistula, which was then confirmed histologically following a second surgical removal of another recurrence. The purpose of this case report is to illustrate the potential complexity of what initially appears to be a simple lameness. At the same time, attention is focused on the possibility that arteriovenous fistulas may tend to recur.
期刊介绍：
Die Tierärztliche Praxis wendet sich mit ihren beiden Reihen als einzige veterinärmedizinische Fachzeitschrift explizit an den Großtier- bzw. Kleintierpraktiker und garantiert damit eine zielgruppengenaue Ansprache. Für den Spezialisten bietet sie Original- oder Übersichtsartikel zu neuen Therapie- und Operationsverfahren oder den Einsatz moderner bildgebender Verfahren. Der weniger spezialisierte Tierarzt oder Berufseinsteiger findet auf seinen Berufsalltag zugeschnittene praxisbezogene Beiträge in der Fortbildungsrubrik „Aus Studium und Praxis“. Mit dem hervorgehobenen „Fazit für die Praxis“ am Ende jedes Artikels verschafft sich auch der eilige Leser einen raschen Überblick über die wichtigsten Inhalte dieser modern konzipierten Fachzeitschrift mit den vielen hochwertigen, überwiegend farbigen Abbildungen. In jedem Heft ermöglicht ein ATF-anerkannter Fortbildungsartikel den Erwerb einer ATF-Stunde (Akademie für tierärztliche Fortbildung).
