Abstract

A 4-year-old Dogue de Bordeaux developed acute onset sciatic neuropathy 9 weeks following stifle surgery of the contralateral pelvic limb. Pelvic radiography showed mild bilateral hip dysplasia. Magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis and lumbosacral spine showed a fluid-filled structure caudal to the hip joint of the affected limb that was causing compression of the sciatic nerve. The lesion was surgically excised and bursitis was confirmed on histological examination. This is the first report of sciatic neuropathy secondary to bursitis in the dog.
