“…In all the above cases the diagnosis was not based on radiography, but on palpation or necropsy. This also applies to an umbrella cockatoo (Cacatua alba) where the intestinal foreign body could be seen on contrast radiographs retrospectively 1 . This case report focuses on the radiographic findings of a small intestinal foreign body in an adult Eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus), and emphasises the importance of distinguishing metallic from non-metallic intestinal foreign bodies in the psittacine patient 15 .…”

A 14-month-old female Eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus) was presented with a 4-week history of bloody diarrhea and depression. No additional information could be gained from physical examination. Only selected diagnostic tests (faecal examination, haematocrit, aspartate aminotransferase, and uric acid) could be performed due to financial constraints, but all where within reference range. Unspecific antibiotic treatment was started and the bird responded well initially, but had to be readmitted 2.5 weeks after initial presentation. Four weeks after initial presentation the owner finally consented to taking whole body radiographs and a diagnosis of an intestinal foreign body could be made. The foreign body was surgically removed 2 days later. The bird recovered uneventfully after surgery and was still in good health 1 year after surgery. This article emphasises the importance of diagnostic imaging in the avian patient. A brief review of avian gastrointestinal foreign bodies is given (concentrating on the psittacine patient) and the importance of distinguishing metallic from non-metallic gastrointestinal foreign bodies are discussed.

ResumoO trato gastrointestinal das aves apresenta anatomia e fisiologia únicas. O inglúvio, ou papo, é uma distensão do esôfago com função de armazenar alimentos. Lesões e massas nesses locais podem ocorrer por diversos motivos, provocando dificuldades alimentares e emagrecimento da ave. O alimento ou material estranho impactado no interior de trato gastrintestinal pode formar os bezoares. Assim, objetivou-se descrever a ocorrência de massas em inglúvio de um periquito australiano atendido no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, e identificadas como fitobezoar ou ingluvolitos após exame necroscópico e avaliação das massas encontradas.Palavras-chave: ave, bezoar, inglúvio, Melopsittacus undulatus. AbstractThe gastrointestinal tract of birds presents unique anatomy and physiology. The crop or chat, is a distension of the esophagus with function of storing food. Injuries and masses in these locations can occur for various reasons causing feeding difficulties and thinning of the bird. Food or foreign body impacted inside tract gatrintestinal can form the bezoars. Thus, the objective was reporting the occurrence of masses in crop in a budgerigar attended at the Veterinary Hospital of the Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, and diagnosed as phytobezoar or ingluvoliths after necropsy examination and evaluation of the mass found.Keywords: bird, bezoar, crop, Melopsittacus undulates. IntroduçãoO trato gastrintestinal das aves passou por múltiplas mudanças evolutivas até tornar-se uma estrutura fisiológica e anatomicamente única, quando comparada às outras classes animais. Com isso, um bico leve e um ventrículo muscular substituíram os ossos pesados da maxila, da mandíbula e as estruturas dentárias comuns entre répteis e mamíferos (Harrison e Lightfoot, 2006). O sistema digestivo aviário é composto por: bico, esôfago, inglúvio (papo), proventrículo, ventrículo (moela), intestino, ceco, reto e cloaca (Harrison e Lightfoot, 2006). O inglúvio é uma distensão do esôfago que tem a função de armazenar o alimento, localizando-se, geralmente, no lado direito do pescoço (Harrison e Lightfoot, 2006).Algumas doenças e aspectos nutricionais e comportamentais podem predispor ao acúmulo de material endurecido no inglúvio que, segundo Jepson (2010), é chamado de ingluvolito. Massas no inglúvio podem-se formar quando as aves são acometidas por candidíase (Candida spp.) (Vasconcelos et al., 2011). Segundo Vieira e Coutinho (2009), o papo é o órgão mais afetado por Candida spp., em aves jovens. Pode ser aparentemente a causa primária de infecções do inglúvio ou um patógeno oportunista beneficiado pela presença de uma lesão primária na mucosa do esôfago ou a partir de um atraso do tempo de esvaziamento do papo (Bauck, 1994). A lesão característica causada por Candida spp. é um exsudato catarral a mucoide, esbranquiçado, abundante, com placas brancas na mucosa, que pode ou não estar associado a odor fétido (Bauck, 1994). Os sinais clínicos associados com ingluvite induzida por Candida spp. em neonatos incluem regurgita...

“…Nestling and juvenile birds, particularly hand-raised chicks, are naturally curious, and frequently ingest foreign objects such as toys, bedding, and seeds (Adamcak et al 2000). Gastrointestinal foreign bodies can be metallic and non-metallic, with the latter further divided into gastric and intestinal foreign bodies.…”

A seven-month old common myna with a history of ingesting a wire was transferred to the Iranmehr companion animal clinic in Mashhad, Iran. The bird's symptoms included anorexia, retching, intermittent vomiting, a lack of vocalisation, fluffing, and nervousness lasting for two days. X-rays confirmed a radiopaque foreign body in the proventriculus. Initial attempts to remove the wire thorough the oral route were futile; however, surgical removal using ventriculotomy (ventral midline celiotomy) under general anaesthesia proved successful. Slight haemorrhaging occurred when the incision was made in the caudal aspect of the ventriculus, but overall, the procedure was performed with no serious complications. A follow-up after three month revealed no complications. Despite the negative views associated with this technique, our study shows that ventriculotomy can be recommended for the removal of ventricular and proventricular foreign bodies, at least in this species.
