A Clinical Case of Foetal Maceration and Posttraumatic Uterine Rupture in a Bitch

Bu klinik vakada; 10 yaşındaki Bulgar Scenthound ırkı dişi bir köpekte, eksternal travmayı takiben oluşan, doğumdan 20 gün sonra teşhis edilen ve sepsis gözlenmeyen uterus rupturu ve fötus maserasyonu anlatılmaktadır. Yapılan fiziksel muayenede hayvanın genel durumunda bir değişiklik gözlenmemiştir. Total kan sayımı ve kan biyokimyasal test sonuçlarında referans değerlerden herhangi bir sapma veya sepsis gelişimi görülmemiştir. Ultrasonda fötal kalıntılar gözlendikten sonra yapılan radyografide, abdominal boşlukta iki fötusa ait parçalar bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan median laparatomi ile bifurkasyo noktasından yırtılmış sol uterus boynuzu içerisinde masere olmuş ve abdominal boşlukta bulunan (saç ve kemikten oluşan) iki adet fötus ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Yırtılan bölgedeki uterus duvarında gerçekleşen patolojik değişiklikler ve uterus ile omentum arasında oluşan yapışmalar nedeniyle ovariyohisterektomi operasyonu gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tedaviden 10 gün sonra yapılan klinik muayenede hayvanın iyileştiği gözlenmiştir.

BİR DİŞİ KÖPEKTE GÖRÜLEN KLİNİK FÖTAL MASERASYON VE POSTTRAVMATİK UTERUS RUPTURU VAKASI

A clinical case of uterine rupture following external trauma and macerated foetuses, which were diagnosed 20 days after parturition and without signs of sepsis in a 10-year-old Bulgarian Scenthound bitch is described. On physical examination, there were no changes in the general condition of the animal. Complete blood counts and blood biochemistry results did not show any deviations from reference values and did not indicate sepsis development. After ultrasonography, foetal debris was observed and radiography confirmed the presence of parts of two foetuses in the abdominal cavity. Median laparotomy revealed macerated foetus (hair and bones) in the abdominal cavity, ruptured left uterine horn near to the bifurcation and a macerated foetus inside the horn. Due to the adhesions between the omentum and the uterus and pathological alterations of the uterine wall in the ruptured area, ovariohysterectomy was performed. The clinical examination had been performed for ten days until the bitch showed good recovery.
