Estudo anatômico aplicado às cólicas obstrutivas diagnosticadas em equinos atendidos no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, Campus de Patos - PB.

Abstract

Large Animal Clinic at the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Campina Grande (HV / UFCG), Campus de Patos-PB, are attended many cases of horses with signs of colic, most caused by obstruction. The precise knowledge of the site of obstruction in these cases is an important aspect of diagnosis and treatment. In order to describe the types of obstructive colic diagnosed in HV/UFCG and anatomical analysis applied to the works of Perssoa (2011) and Perssoa et al were reviewed. (2012) who described cases from January 2001 to December 2010 and all medical records from January 2011 to December 2013 the Medical Clinic of Large Animal HV / UFCG, Campus de Patos-PB. All cases that come to deaths, from January 2011 to December 2013 were also reviewed through research on pathological records of the Laboratory of Animal Pathology of HV / UFCG, Campus de Patos-PB. Obstructions Represented an important cause for triggering the syndrome colic in horses treated at HV/UFCG. Cramping by compression accounted for 63.6% of obstructive colic and 45.2% of all Diagnosed cases of colic in HV / UFCG. In 35 horses (62.5%), a total of 56 Diagnosed with colic by compaction, clinical and / or pathological records did not Indicate the locations of Obstructions. Obstructive colic by strangulation had an occurrence of 29.5%. The anatomical sites were recorded in a general way, for example, when the small intestine could be more precise, indicating that the segment (duodenum, jejunum and ileum); similarly to the ascending colon. Cramping by foreign bodies and had a low occurrence predominantly in the descending colon, the types of foreign bodies were plastic bags and fitobenzoários.
