Abstract:
An 8-month-old domestic shorthair cat was presented for rectal tenesmus and pain on defecation. The clinical examination revealed a rectal stricture, and the radiological examination with contrast medium allowed the localization and extension of the stricture to be identified. The latter was treated with balloon endoscopy balloon dilation with a single balloon system, which resulted in complete resolution of the stenosis. No recurrences were observed during the following months. The previous medical history is unclear since the cat was adopted from a shelter, but an inflammatory origin is suspected.
