Uterine intussusception is a rare condition in bitches. This study aimed to report an unusual case of prolapsed uterine intussusception in a female dog. A 2-year-old American Bully bitch was received with labor history of large fetus requiring manual traction. The animal presented mucosal prolapse through the vulva, unproductive contractions and abdominal discomfort. After partial correction of mucosal prolapse, the dog was referred to ovary-hysterectomy surgery to correct prolapsed mucosa. During the surgical procedure, surgeons observed that the uterine horns were invaginated into the uterine body, rotated, and the tissue was slightly devitalized and congested. As previously described, this condition occurred during the immediate postpartum period. Thus, we suggest that this period can be a facilitator for the establishment of uterine intussusception.

“…This has been described in only a few cases so far. 1,7 Splenectomy was not necessary in the present case due to only mild signs of congestion and preserved viability of the spleen. Gastric wall viability was questionable along the gastric fundus during surgery and an inverting Cushing suture pattern was used to invaginate the affected area of the gastric wall.…”

“…Besides the stomach, displacement of the spleen or other abdominal organs can occur, but is reported less common 1,3,7 and often the spleen is herniated only partially into the oesophagus. In one case report the spleen was displaced next to the oesophagus through the oesophageal hiatus (paraoesophageal hiatal hernia).…”

“…Gastroesophageal intussusception (GEI) is a rare condition in dogs and GEI combined with herniation of the spleen into the thoracic portion of the oesophagus only described in the minority of cases. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The pathogenesis of GEI is still unclear, but megaoesophagus, oesophageal dysmotility disorders, or laxity of the oesophageal hiatus are discussed to be predisposing factors for GEI, with 36 % of patients having megaoesophagus prior to GEI 3 and 50% of patients with GEI showing different oesophageal disorders. 3,8 Young, male, medium to large breed dogs, and especially German shepherd dogs are overrepresented in the literature.…”

Gastroesophageal intussusception with complete herniation of the spleen in a 12 months old dog with idiopathic megaoesophagus

A 12 months old, castrated male, mix‐breed dog was presented due to acute onset of vomiting, retching, anorexia, and tachypnoea. Idiopathic megaoesophagus was diagnosed three months prior to presentation. Radiographic and CT examination revealed gastroesophageal intussusception with herniation of the complete spleen into the intussusception. After initial stabilization surgical treatment was performed. The stomach and spleen were manually reduced into the abdomen. Due to questionable viability of the gastric wall an inverting suture pattern was used to invaginate the compromised part. Left sided gastropexy was performed to reduce risk of recurrence. Additionally oesophagopexy was performed to reduce the risk of hiatal hernia due to intraoperative damage to the hiatus. The patient recovered uneventful and was discharged from hospital five days following surgery. Conservative treatment of concurrent megaoesophagus was continued. At last follow up, 10 months later, the dog was clinically fine, had gained weight, and showed no signs of regurgitation.

Gastroesophageal intussusception secondary to induction of emesis with subsequent development of septic pericardial effusion after corrective surgery

A juvenile boxer dog was diagnosed with gastroesophageal intussusception that occurred after the induction of emesis with apomorphine. A ventral midline coeliotomy and diaphragmotomy were performed and the intussusception was manually reduced. Despite initial satisfactory recovery, the dog was diagnosed with cardiac tamponade 1 week post-operatively. Escherichia coli was cultured from pericardial and pleural effusion samples. During subtotal pericardiectomy surgery the pericardium was found to be markedly thickened with adhesions to the epicardium, thoracic wall and diaphragm. Substantial haemorrhage and refractory hypotension necessitated the administration of a blood transfusion during surgery. The dog entered cardiac arrest in the immediate post-operative period and cardiopulmonary resuscitation was unfortunately unsuccessful. Gastroesophageal intussusception should be considered a possible severe adverse effect of administering apomorhine to induce emesis in dogs. Additionally, septic pericardial and pleural effusions may occur post-reduction of gastroesophageal intussusception.
