The average age of 122 horses with ascending colon volvulus was 6.6 +/- 0.4 years. Gastric reflux was a presenting sign in 35% of the cases. Peritoneal fluid protein levels had a mean of 2.54 +/- 0.14 g/dl and 20 horses had grossly normal peritoneal fluid at the time of presentation. Ascending colon volvulus was most commonly found at the level of the cecocolic fold with the initial ventral colon movement in a dorsomedial direction about the ascending mesocolic axis. The overall survival rate was 34.7% with a recurrence rate of only 4.9%.
Ninety-five percent of the neonatal cases of bowel atresia result from jéjuno-ileal obstructions. Frequency is estimated from 1/3,000 to 1/5,000. We observed a case of small bowel volvulus secondary to jejunal atresia diagnosed at 35 weeks gestation. The ultrasound examination was performed due to decreased perception of active fetal movements. Fetal extraction was successful before perforation and meconial peritonitis.
