“…1,4,5,9 Based on telephone follow-ups, the recurrence of intussusception in our study was 15% within 12 months, similar to a previously published number but in contrast with a study that included 20 cats. 4,5 A more recent study that included 19 cats reported no recurrence of intussusception in the short or long term. 9 In our study, all cats with recurrence of intussusception were treated with enteroplication during the first surgery.…”

“…4 As in dogs, intussusception is reported in cats younger than 1 year; however, the condition also occurs in cats older than 6 years. 4 Many predisposing factors reported in dogs were suspected for intussusception in cats as well, 5 including intestinal parasitic infestation, alimentary foreign bodies, viral enteritis, intestinal masses, recent abdominal or extra-abdominal surgery, and non-specific gastroenteritis. In a recent study, intussusception occurring in cats older than 6 years was more likely secondary to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or lymphoma, whereas intussusceptions in cats younger than 1 year were mainly idiopathic.…”

Objectives The aim of this study was to report complications, as well as short- and long-term clinical outcomes of cats suffering from surgically reduced intussusception with and without enteroplication. Methods Medical records of cats presented at our institution with intussusception between 2001 and 2016 were reviewed. The following data were retrieved: signalment; history; physical examination; diagnostic imaging, surgical and histological findings; and outcomes. Animals were grouped as with or without enteroplication. Duration of surgery, survival, complication and recurrence rates, duration of hospitalisation, and short- and long-term outcomes were compared. Results Cats with intussusception presented with unspecific type and duration of clinical signs. Male or male castrated cats and Maine Coons were over-represented in both groups. Enteroplication was performed in 48% (10/21) of the cats. Cats in the enteroplication group were significantly younger than those in the non-enteroplication group ( P = 0.023). Duration of surgery, time of hospitalisation, complication rate and outcomes did not differ between the two groups. Two complications in the short term and one complication in the long term were possibly associated with enteroplication. A recurrence of intussusception was seen in 2/17 cats approximately 12 months after initial surgery, both previously treated with enteroplication. Conclusions and relevance Although the number of cases was limited, our results suggest that enteroplication should be cautiously performed in cats with intussusception as it may be associated with major complications in the short and long term, and its efficacy remains unclear. Based on this study, the need for enteroplication in cats following a correction of intussusception could be questioned.

Gastric Intussusceptions in a Red Corn Snake (Pantherophis guttatus) Associated with Cryptosporidiosis

A 3-year-old female red corn snake (Pantherophis guttatus) was presented for a three-week history of anorexia and decreased defecations. On physical examination, a soft midbody intracoelomic swelling was palpated. Transcutaneous coelomic ultrasound revealed a target-like mass on a transverse section of the stomach, suggesting the presence of a gastrointestinal intussusception. On exploratory coeliotomy, a double compounded esophagogastric and gastroduodenal intussusception was diagnosed and reduced surgically. A gastropexy was also performed to prevent recurrence. On histopathology, the gastric glandular mucosa showed moderate to marked proliferation. Diffusely lining the luminal surface of glandular epithelium and free within the lumen were a myriad of protozoa consistent with Cryptosporidium sp. A diagnosis of chronic proliferative gastritis due to Cryptosporidium sp. was made based on these findings. Intussusceptions are rare in reptiles and are infrequently reported in snakes. This is the first report of a double compounded intussusception in a nonmammalian species and the first report of an intussusception involving the stomach in a snake with gastritis due to Cryptosporidium sp.

“…The intussusceptum is the invaginated segment of the alimentary tract, whereas the intussuscipiens is the enveloping segment. [27][28][29] Any portion of the alimentary tract may be involved, but enterocolic intussusceptions account for almost two-thirds of published cases in dogs and cats.…”
