Segmental ischaemic necrosis of the jejunum in a post‐partum mare due to two mesenteric avulsions

Abstract: SummaryThis report describes segmental ischaemic necrosis of the small intestine 4 days after foaling in a 9‐year‐old Arabian mare. The jejunal mesentery was avulsed from the intestine in two locations for 20 and 200 cm, resulting in intestinal necrosis, in the absence of entrapment or strangulation. This case highlights the need to consider the possibility of mesenteric injury when a post‐partum mare presents mild signs of abdominal pain.

Although these disorders can occur at any time of a mare's life, the risk is greatest in the first few days or weeks post‐partum (Holcombe et al., 2016 ).…”
