Enterocutaneous Fistula as a Result of Chronic Bite Wound Repair in a Dog

Abstract: ABSTRACT. A 6-year-old castrated male Maltese weighing 4.8 kg was presented with a non-healing wound exhibiting purulent discharge after surgery on scar tissue of a chronic twelve-month-old bite wound on the left caudal abdominal region. The dog had previously undergone four surgeries and had been on continuous antibiotic therapy for eight months. Following radiographic and ultrasonographic examinations, the problem was diagnosed as an enterocutaneous fistula of a herniated bowel loop under the skin. Surgical … Show more

“…Perirectal abscesses and fistulas are common in humans, but similar conditions are rarely seen in animals (Łojszczyk-Szczepaniak et al 2014). Enterocutaneous fistulas are pathological tunnels between the intestines and the skin, usually occur in large animals due to complications of umbilical hernia or their treatment (Byeon et al 2008). Enterocutaneous fistulas are rarely encountered pathologies in small animals (Tsioli et al 2009).…”

“…Recto-cutaneous fistula is a potential complication of any rectal perforation, including perianal surgery. Most rectal perforations described in dogs and cats occur in the most caudal 4 cm of the rectum (Muir 1998;Byeon et al 2008;Frasson 2008;Łojszczyk-Szczepaniak et al 2014). Its clinical manifestations are drainage of feces from the fistula through the perianal defect and pain and swelling at the mouth of the fistula due to an inflammatory reaction.…”

“…). The underlying causes in the few published cases of enterocutaneous fistulae in dogs were: pelvic injury (Tobias ), gastrointestinal foreign body (Wunderlin et al ), surgical repair following a chronic bite wound (Byeon et al ) and an intraperitoneal gauze foreign body (Frank & Stanley ). This case report describes a spontaneous enterocutaneous fistula in the inguinal region of a dog.…”

“…Es handelt sich um abnorme Verbindungen zwischen dem Darmlumen und der Haut. In der Literatur existieren bisher nur vier Kasuistiken, die dieses Krankheitsbild beim Hund beschreiben (7,9,12,43). Als Fistelursache konnten ein Fremdkörper (Kompresse), eine alte abdominale Bissverletzung und ein vorausgegangenes Beckentrauma diagnostiziert werden (7,12,43).…”

Unbekannter Genese war die von Chandler et al (9) beschriebene extraperitoneale rektokutane Fistelbildung bei einer Husky-Hündin.…”
