Ovarian remnant syndrome and uterine stump pyometra in three queens

Abstract: Ovarian remnant syndrome (ORS) is the presence of functional ovarian tissue with signs of oestrus as a complication after ovariohysterectomy (OHE) or ovariectomy. Stump pyometra is another complication that can be observed after OHE. However, there are few reports about ORS and stump pyometra in queens. In this report, three queens with recurrent oestrous behaviours after OHE are described. In two queens, ORS with stump pyometra was diagnosed and in one queen ORS alone was diagnosed by physical examination, me… Show more

“…Values have been reported for the mean thickness of the uterus and uterine walls on various days postpartum . Information is also available on the ultrasonographic appearance of pathological conditions . Feline ovaries can also be imaged, and are hypoechoic oval structures located caudolaterally to the respective kidneys.…”

“…ORS is commonly caused by incomplete removal of ovarian tissue, dropping of a thin piece of ovarian tissue into the abdomen, and accidental implantation of ovarian tissue (Ball et al, 2010). Remnant tissue may contain follicles, corpus lutea, luteoma and germ cells (DeNardo et al, 2001) and cats may show clinical signs of oestrus, mild abdominal pain, endometrial hyperplasia and stump pyometra (Wallace, 1991;Demirel and Acar, 2012).…”

“…The first is related to the fact that queens are induced ovulators, and therefore, the feline uterus is less frequently exposed to progesterone influence [20,24]. The second is related with the habit to neuter queens at younger ages to prevent unwanted pregnancies and heat behavior [15].…”

“…In queens, pyometra has been described co-existing with other uterine conditions, such as a disorder of sexual development [11], uterine torsion [12], in ovariectomized (but not hysterectomized) cats [13] and in the uterine stump of neutered queens with ovarian remnant syndrome [14,15]. Moreover, several cases of uterine neoplasia associated with pyometra have been reported in queens [16][17][18].…”
