A rare subperitoneal cyst caused abdominal mass and hind limb lameness in a horse. Laparoscopic drainage resolved the locomotion disorder, highlighting the diagnostic value of laparoscopy for abdominal masses.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Equine Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • A 5-year-old Friesian mare presented with an abdominal mass and left hind limb gait irregularity.
  • Rectal ultrasonography revealed a thin-walled, anechoic cavity in the left abdomen.

Observation:

  • Laparoscopy visualized a smooth, subperitoneal mass.
  • Fluid aspirated from the mass was cytologically and bacteriologically consistent with a cyst.

Findings:

  • Drainage of the subperitoneal cyst led to the complete resolution of the left hind limb locomotion disorder.
  • This case represents the first documented instance of a subperitoneal cyst in a horse.

Implications:

  • Laparoscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing and treating intra-abdominal masses in horses.
