Bone Sequestration of the Appendicular Skeleton in Cameli
نویسنده
چکیده
Osseous sequestration has been recognized with increased frequency in South American camelids. In horses and cattle, sequestration is most commonly associated with traumatic events that lead to localized cortical ischemia and bacterial invasion secondary to loss of adjacent periosteal and soft tissue integrity and viability. In humans, osteomyelitis without prior trauma is rarely seen in adults, but is reported in neonates. Etiology is suspected to be hematogenous spread of bacteria which seeds specific regions due to unique blood flow present in neonatal long bones. At OSU-VTH we have seen a population of young South American camelids that developed osseous sequestration without evidence of trauma.

Melorheostosis is a rare sclerosing hyperostosis that affects the appendicular skeleton more than the axial skeleton. This disorder also affects the cutaneous and soft tissues and leads to the formation of fibrosis and contracture. Due to the unique features of melorheostosis (dripping candle wax appearance), plain radiographs are often sufficient for diagnosis. Herein we report a case of melor...

#{149} Be familiar with the radiologic manifestations that allow differentiation of the majority of enchondromas and intramedullary chondrosarcomas affecting the appendicular skeleton. Distinction of enchondroma versus intramedullary chondrosarcoma a!fecting the appendicular skeleton (proximal to the metacarpals and metatarsals) is a frequent diagnostic dilemma. The authors studied a large seri...
