DESLOCAMENTO DE CÓLOM A ESQUERDA COM ENCARCERAMENTO NEFROESPLÊNICO EM EQUINO - RELATO DE CASO

Abstract

Colic or acute abdomen is one of the main diseases that horses commit, with displacement of the colon to the left with nephrosplenic entrapment one of the main causes. From this, it becomes extremely necessary the early identification of the animal's pain condition and early start of treatment in order to obtain a better prognosis. When dealing with nephrosplenic incarceration, there are clinical treatments, which, being less invasive and less costly, end up being the first attempts instituted. However, an existing obstacle to this treatment is the diagnosis, since many times it is not diagnosing the surgery beforehand. From this, the objective of the present work is to report the diagnosis and institution of two clinical treatments and one surgical treatment for the resolution of a displacement of the colon to the left with nephrosplenic entrapment. Thus, we report the case of a 17-year-old female PSI horse, referred to the Hvet-Unb, showing signs of abdominal discomfort, being diagnosed by means of the FLASH scan and rectal palpation, being submitted to clinical treatment, with administration of phenylephrine and rolling technique, and with failure, being submitted to exploratory celiotomy.
