'''A seven-year-old Irish Draught gelding developed a soft swelling on the left hindlimb. This was not associated with any marked lameness, and there was no history of severe trauma to the region.'''
<br />
<FlashCard questions="3">
|q1= What is this condition?
|a1=Prepatellar bursitis. <br>
The other possibility is a haematoma, which may ultimately lead to this type of bursal swelling.
|l1=
|q2=How could you confirm your diagnosis?
|a2=
*Radiography to confirm a swelling of fluid/soft tissue opacity.
*Ultrasonography to confirm a fluid-filled structure.
*Sampling to investigate the nature of the fluid.
|l2=
|q3=How would you treat the condition?
|a3=
Having confirmed, with a contrast study, that the bursa did not communicate with any other synovial structures, the bursa could be drained and an attempt made to obliterate the secretory synovial lining.
