“…The exact cause of uterine prolapse is unknown in cats (3,7). It has been suggested that powerful uterine and abdominal contractions, excessive oxytocin stimulation, severe tenesmus, and uterine atony are predisposing factors of uterine prolapse (3,6). In contrast with Bigliardi et al (3) and Jutkowitz (6), the uterine prolapse in this case was thought to be due to prolonged parturition (8), dystocia (9), and repeated pregnancy (4).…”

“…Uterine prolapse is an uncommon complication of parturition which occurs infrequently among domestic cats from 10 months to 6 years of age (1,2). It may typically arise during or within 48 h of normal parturition, prolonged labour, or abortion (3,4). The prolapse may occur with the protrusion of both horns from the vulva or one part of the uterine body (1).…”

A 3-year-old, 2.5-kg British shorthair cat with dystocia and protrusion of a mass through the vulva was presented to the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Clinic, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, İstanbul University. Upon clinical examination, a complete uterine prolapse was diagnosed. Because of a blood blister and oedema in the uterine horns, ovariohysterectomy treatment was decided. During laparotomy, one foetus was detected in the cranial portion of the left uterine horn. After manual reduction and intraabdominal withdrawal of the prolapsed uterus, a caesarean section was performed to deliver the foetus. The last litter and the queen were discharged from the clinic in good health.

“…To our knowledge, only one case of uterine evisceration in a queen is described in the literature. 5 Rupture of the vaginal wall with evisceration of different organs (including, but not exclusively, the uterus) has been described in women, 6,7 and similar cases are reported in ewes 8 and dogs (intestines, bladder and uterus). 9–12 Both uterine prolapse and uterine evisceration may have similar presenting signs and only a careful inspection of the prolapsed/eviscerated organ allows for an accurate diagnosis.…”

Transvaginal uterine evisceration during labor in a Bengal queen

Case summary A 2.5-year-old Bengal queen was admitted with a 12-h history of a mass protruding from the vulva during labor. At that time, three healthy kittens had already been delivered. Physical examination identified the mass as a portion of the uterus that was eviscerated without eversion of the mucosa. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a vaginal vault rupture with a large portion of the uterus herniated through the tear and eviscerated through the vulva. Ovariohysterectomy was performed, and a dead fetus was removed with the uterus. Reconstruction of the vaginal rupture required careful dissection and urethral catheterization. The queen recovered without complications. Relevance and novel information Uterine evisceration through a vaginal tear is a very rare condition that sometimes is erroneously referred to as ‘prolapse’. Uterine prolapse and uterine evisceration may have similar presenting signs; however, proper identification and surgical correction is key when the uterus is eviscerated. This case highlights the importance of differentiating these two conditions and of rapid identification and surgical intervention for successful patient survival.

“…A case of distal uterine rupture (near the vagina) that led to complete uterine prolapse (Bigliardi et al, 2014) was also reported. It has been observed that the rupture of parts of the uterus is asymptomatic in cat.…”

ABSTRACT. The rupture of a pregnant uterus is a rare complication of pregnancy, which can result in the death of the mother and the fetus. This life threating condition generally occurs during late pregnancy, it can be asymptomatic and scarred uteruses have been reported as incidental findings during abdominal surgery. This clinical case describes a queen with vulvar bleeding during the early stage of pregnancy. Wall laceration of a pregnant uterus was diagnosed by means of an ultrasound examination. During ovariohysterectomy two uterine ruptures, fragments of the great omentum were found sequestering embryonic tissue. Histopathology showed that the uterine wall was torn in the same place where two embryonic implantations were found and residues of embryonic tissue were observed. This clinical case shows that when a traumatic injury is reported, the mandatory abdomen investigations should evaluate the condition of the uterus and determine the early stage of a pregnancy.
