    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Equine Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Bicipital bursitis is an inflammation of the bursa overlying the biceps brachii tendon.
    • It can cause significant lameness and shoulder pain in horses.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment.

    Observation:

    • A six-year-old mare presented with acute lameness, pyrexia, and a hot swelling in the right shoulder region.
    • Initial antibiotic treatment provided temporary relief of acute signs.
    • A persistent firm, cold swelling remained, indicating chronic inflammation or a complication.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights a presentation of bicipital bursitis in a young mare.
    • Antibiotic therapy was insufficient for complete resolution of the condition.

  • Surgical intervention, specifically resection and drainage, was required for definitive treatment.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of surgical management for persistent bicipital bursitis in horses.
    • Early recognition and appropriate treatment can prevent chronic complications.
    • Veterinary surgeons should consider surgical resection for refractory cases.
