ABSTRACT
Haghighi S, Moaddab H, Afshari
E, Moshaverinia A, Shahbazi
Y., Ileal hypertrophy, strongyle
cecal lesions and dysmotility
in a horse. Onl J Vet Res., 16 (3):154-158,
2012. A
13-year-old mare with a history of colic presented with shock, recumbency, pale mucosal membranes and cold extremities.
Pulse rate was 130 beat/min without abdominal intestinal
sounds. The animal died and necropsy revealed hypertrophy of the walls
of the ileum and thickening of the cranial mesenteric artery. A large thrombus with red worms was found
attached to the intima of the cranial
mesenteric artery. Microscopy revealed Strongylus
vulgaris larvae with hypertrophy of muscularis mucosae
of the cranial mesenteric artery. It is suggested that a mechanism for Ileal hypertrophy could be stasis due to strongyle infestation.
Key words: Strongylus vulgaris, thrombosis, horse,
colic.
