| description | Spastic paresis is a progressive neuromuscular disease that usually occurs in
calves at the age of 3-5 months. The material of this study was a 3.5-monthold
female Simmental calf, weighing 87 kg, brought to Selcuk University
Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Large Animal Hospital in May 2023 with a
complaint of lameness in the right hind leg. Clinical examination revealed
contraction and hyperextension in the right hind limb of the calf. There was
no swelling or pain in the tarsal or genu joints or other anatomical regions.
Radiological examination showed no evidence of degenerative joint disease.
A diagnosis of progressive spastic paresis was made on the basis of the clinical
findings. Partial neurectomy of the tibial nerve was made to treat the calf with
spastic paresis. A 15 cm incision was made over the semimembranous and
gluteobiceps muscles to access the area. The tibial nerve innervating the
gastrocnemius muscles was then identified and a 1 cm section was resected.
This de-innervated the gastrocnemius muscles of the limb and the weight
was transferred to the flexor digitorum superfisialis. Postoperatively, the
patient was treated with antibiotics and analgesics. In conclusion; in the
case of spastic paralysis, pain and contractions related to muscle spasms
disappeared after the partial tibial neurectomy operation and the life welfare
of the calf increased. |
