Disfunção Sacrolíaca: Diagnóstico e reabilitação / Sacroiliac dysfunction: diagnosis and rehabilitation / Disfunción sacroilíaca: diagnóstico y rehabilitación

As afecções sacroilíacas são disfunções pélvicas bastante frequentes entre os cavalos de esporte,apesar de pouco diagnosticadas. Podem resultar em perda de desempenho, má postura, claudicações e relutância em executar exercícios específicos, impactando diretamente na vida atlética destes animais. Podes er causada por desmites dos ligamentos sacroilíacos ou atroses, com presença ou não de fragmentos ósseos.Seu diagnóstico é dependente de minunciosa inspeção estática, dinâmica, manobras específicas de mobilização pélvica e auxílios de imagem, dos quais os mais acessíves certamente são a termografia e o ultrassom. Seu tratamento deve ser multidisciplinar, com objetivos de resolução da dor, inflamação e reestabilização da musculatura pélvica intrínseca. Pode abranger estratégias como infiltrações com anti-inflamatórios esteroidais,ozônio, acupuntura, quiropraxia, eletroestimulação e exercícios de fortalecimento muscular. Relatou-se um caso de disfunção sacroilíaca causado por lascidão dos ligamentos sacroilíacos ventrais e atrose, tratado com sucesso durante um período de 60 dias com ozônio periarticular, quiropraxia, acupuntura e fortalecimento de músculos pélvicos e abdominais.

Sacroiliac disorders are quite frequent pelvic dysfunctions among sport horses, althoug hunder diagnosed. Can result in loss of performance, poor posture, lameness and reluctance to perform specific exercises, directly impacting the athletic life ofthese animais. It can be caused by desmites the sacroiliac ligamentsor atroses with presence or absence of bone fragments. Diagnosis is dependent on static and dynamic inspection,specific maneuvers of pelvic mobilization and imaging, of which the most frequently used are thermographyand ultrasound. The treatment should be multidisciplinary, with objectives of resolution of pain, inflammationand stabilization of intrinsic pelvic muscles. It may include strategies such as infiltrations with steroids, ozone,acupuncture, chiropractic, electrical stimulation and muscle strengthening exercises. We reported a case ofsacroiliac dysfunction caused by lascity of the ventral sacroiliac ligaments and athrosis successfully treated overa period of 60 days with periarticular ozone, chiropractic, acupuncture and strengthening of pelvic and abdominal muscles.

Pentalogy of fallot in a Crioulo foal

Background: Cardiac anomalies account for 3.5% of congenital defects in horses. Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is characterized by ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, dextroposition the aorta and right ventricular hypertrophy secondary. Pentalogy of Fallot (POF) is a variation and is characterized by a defect in the right atrioventricular valve or persistence of the ductus arteriosus, in addition to the other defects observed in tetralogy. Affected animals usually have stunted growth, exercise intolerance, weakness, lethargy, cyanosis, dyspnea and syncope. The aim of this study was to describe a case of POF, as diagnosed in a Crioulo foal in southern Brazil. Case: Clinical signs were observed at the fifth day of life and were characterized by cyanosis, intense tracheal stertor, tachycardia, marked heart murmur, HR 160 bpm, RR 80 breaths/min, T 39.8C and syncope. These signs worsened with physical activity. Endoscopic evaluation of the upper airways revealed no anatomical conformation changes or tissue dysfunction. A cardiac ultrasound showed a loss of continuity of the interventricular septum, right ventricular wall thickening and a hyperechoic appearance of the area where the right atrioventricular valve (tricuspid) should be. The crises have become more severe and more frequent, the animal began to show signs of ischemia, such as loss of motor coordination and limited [...]
