IMAGING DIAGNOSIS—BILATERAL ABNORMAL OSSIFICATION OF THE SUPRAGLENOID TUBERCLE AND CRANIAL GLENOID CAVITY IN AN ENGLISH SETTER

Abstract

An 8-month-old intact male English Setter was presented with bilateral shoulder lameness. Radiographic and CT examinations demonstrated bilateral irregular margination and separation of the supraglenoid tubercle from the scapula, with involvement of the cranial articular surface of the glenoid cavity. After 30 days of cage rest, complete fusion of proximal portions of both supraglenoid tubercles and persistent un-united cranial portions of both glenoid cavities were evident. Histopathologic findings from biopsies of glenoid cavity defects were consistent with osteochondrosis or focal chondrodysplasia.
