Patient
male, 5 years
Examination
CT of the forelimbs, pre- and post-contrast
Date
September 2026

History

Recurrent left thoracic limb lameness for approximately 1 year.

Technique

1,268 slices (1 and 3 mm), pre- and post-contrast series reconstructed with medium- and high-frequency algorithms; scans and reconstructions with a large FOV. Good study quality.

Findings

  • Left elbow: well-defined but poorly marginated medial coronoid process of heterogeneous attenuation; normal humeroradioulnar congruity; anconeal process unremarkable; no evidence of new bone formation; articular and periarticular soft tissues without abnormalities.
  • Long bones, other joints and right thoracic limb: no abnormalities detected.

Conclusion

  • Left elbow dysplasia characterised by medial coronoid disease (MCD) without fragmentation.
