Omental torsion in a dog

Abstract: A five-year-old female intact German shepherd presented with an acute onset of abdominal pain. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a 5-cm encapsulated, heterogeneous structure with hypoechoic patches near the right pancreatic lobe. An exploratory laparotomy revealed a partially encapsulated necrotic mass located at the greater omentum. A partial omentectomy was performed. Histopathological findings were consistent with necrosis of the omentum secondary to omental torsion. Postoperative course was uneventful. Omental… Show more

“…24 No abnormalities were seen on abdominal radiographs of the German shepherd dog with primary OT. 8 However, in our case, a plain abdominal radiograph revealed a 60 x 70 mm ovoidshape structure in the cranial abdomen that had a thin, soft tissue opacity rim, surrounding a mass composed of a mixed fatty and soft-tissue opacity arranged in curvilinear streaks. These streaks, located between the stomach and the spleen, represent the fatty and soft-tissue components of the twisted omentum and have not been described previously.…”

“…Comparatively with humans, there is a paucity of reported ultrasonographic findings of OT in animals. The ultrasonographic findings reported in the German shepherd dog with OT consisted of a 5‐cm encapsulated heterogeneous structure comprising hypoechoic areas 8. In a rabbit with OT, abdominal ultrasonography showed an extraluminal, non‐homogeneous lesion of mixed echogenicity with poorly defined rounded margins located caudal to the stomach 5.…”
