Ultrasonographic imaging of normal reticulum and traumatic reticuloperitonitis in crossbred cows

Amaç: Çalışmada, sağlıklı melez ineklerde retikulumun ultrasonografik olarak incelenmesine dayalı gözlemlerin tanımlanması ve travmatik retikiloperitonitisli ineklerle karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Ultrasonografik incelemeler gebe olmayan 10 adet inekte gerçekleştirildi. Retikulum median, sağ paramedian ve sol paramedian bölgelere ilaveten sol 7. ile 5. interkostal aralıkta ve sağ 7. ile 6. interkostal aralıkta dirsek seviyesinde görüntülendi. Aynı zamanda travmatik retikiloperitonitisli inekler, klinik olarak sağlıklı ineklerle karşılaştırmak için ultrasonografik olarak değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Retikular duvar, diyaframın kaudalinde ve bitişik kalın ekojenik bir hat olarak görüldü. İlk retikuler kontraksiyonun genişliği 5.6'dan 10.4 cm'ye kadar değişmekteydi. Retikulum ve diyafram arasındaki ekojenik bandlar ve retikulum, rumen, dalak, karaciğer ve omasumun yüzeyinde gözlenen heterojen ekoyapıların (ekojenik fibrin ve hipoekojenik sıvıdan meydana gelen) tabakaları lokal peritonitisi göstermektedir.Öneri: Ultrasonografinin daha fazla rutin kullanımı sadece klinik inceleme ile tespit etmesi zor olan travmatik retikiloperitonitisin ve onun yol açtığı hasarın erken teşhisine yardımcı olabilir.

Melez ineklerde normal retikulum ve travmatik retikiloperitonitisin ultrasonografik görüntülenmesi

Aim: To describe observations based on ultrasonographic examination of the reticulum in healthy crossbred cows and to compare with cows suffering from traumatic reticuloperitonitis.Materials and Methods: Ultrasonographic examinations were performed on 10 non-pregnant cows. The reticulum was scanned at the level of elbow in the left 7th to 5th intercostal spaces (ICSs) and the right 7th to 6th ICSs as well as in the median, the right paramedian, and the left paramedian regions. Crossbred adult cows suffering from traumatic reticuloperitonitis were also evaluated ultrasonographically for comparison with the clinically healthy cows.Results: The reticular wall was seen as a thick echogenic line adjacent and caudal to diaphragm. The amplitude of the first reticular contraction ranged from 5.6 to 10.4 cm. Echogenic bands between the reticulum and the diaphragm, and deposits of heterogeneous echostructures (consisting of echogenic fibrin and hypoechogenic fluid) on the surfaces of reticulum, rumen, spleen, liver, and omasum were observed, representing local peritonitis.Conclusions: More routine use of ultrasonography may aid in early diagnosis of traumatic reticuloperitonitis and detection of its sequelae, which are difficult to detect by clinical examination alone.
