Intermittent Gastroesophageal Intussusception in a Dog: Clinical Features, Radiographic and Endoscopic Findings, and Surgical Management

“…It has been reported that 95% of animals dying or being euthanized before treatment can be initialized. 4,5 The rapid deleterious effect is mainly related to the adverse effect on the cardiopulmonary system. Death usually occurs as a result of hypovolemic shock.…”

Differential diagnosis of dogs with dyspnea and regurgitation at the age of weaning should include persistent right aortic arch, esophageal foreign body, peritoneopericardial hernia, and pneumonia secondary to esophageal dilatation.…”

Gastro‐oesophageal intussusception with splenic involvement in an adult dog

“…Although ideal treatment of GEI is not known given the minimal number of reported cases for this disease, it appears that bilateral gastropexy (Pollock and Rhodes 1970, von Werthern and others 1996, Pietra and others 2003, Côté 2007, Torad and Hassan 2015) is commonly performed, especially in younger dogs. Use of a left-sided feeding tube gastropexy as a second source of fixation and tightening of the oesophageal hiatus have not been reported, to the authors’ knowledge.…”

Intussusception associated with a linear foreign body in a dog: A case report

“…Moreover, gastro-pyloro-dueodenal obstruction associated with linear foreign body was found by Patil et al in 2013[12]. Pietra et al [13] also reported a case of intermittent gastroesophageal intussusception in a 4-year-old male pug.…”
