Traumatic duodenitis in a dairy cow

P C Mullowney, R H Whitlock

    The Veterinary Record
    |December 16, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    A penetrating wire caused a duodenal lesion in a Holstein cow, mimicking intussusception. This finding highlights the importance of considering foreign body ingestion in bovine gastrointestinal disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Bovine Surgery
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Intussusception is a significant cause of intestinal obstruction in cattle.
    • Clinical presentation can be ambiguous, requiring thorough diagnostic evaluation.

    Observation:

    • A mature Holstein cow presented with clinical signs suggestive of intussusception.
    • Exploratory laparotomy was performed due to persistent clinical signs.

    Findings:

    • A penetrating wire, not intussusception, was identified as the primary lesion.
    • The wire was located in the anterior duodenum, causing penetrating injury.

    Implications:

    • Foreign body ingestion should be considered in bovine gastrointestinal cases presenting with intussusception-like signs.
    • Diagnostic protocols may need to incorporate imaging or specific tests to rule out penetrating foreign bodies.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate surgical intervention and improved outcomes in cattle.
