Cecal impaction in the horse.

M L Campbell, P C Colahan, M P Brown

    Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
    |April 15, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cecal impaction in horses can lead to rupture, often requiring surgery. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for survival, as rupture significantly reduces the chances of successful intervention.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Equine Surgery
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Cecal impaction is a serious condition in horses.
    • Rupture of the cecum is a life-threatening complication.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the outcomes of horses diagnosed with cecal impaction.
    • To investigate the causes and consequences of cecal rupture in horses.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 21 horses diagnosed with cecal impaction over 3 years.
    • Analysis of surgical and necropsy findings.
    • Evaluation of treatment methods including typhlotomy and fluid injection.

    Main Results:

    • 21 horses diagnosed with cecal impaction (mean age 8 years).
    • 12 horses experienced cecal rupture, with surgery being impossible due to inaccessible rupture sites.
    • Typhlotomy was performed in 7 horses; 2 horses treated with fluid injection did not survive.
    • Cecal impaction was the sole identified cause of rupture.

    Conclusions:

    • Cecal impaction is a primary cause of cecal rupture in horses.
    • Cecal rupture carries a poor prognosis, often precluding surgical correction.
    • Timely intervention for cecal impaction is critical to prevent catastrophic rupture.
