Reporte de caso clínico. Torsión mesentérica postraumática en canino macho de 8 meses.

Abstract

Mesenteric torsion is generated by a clockwise or counterclockwise axial rotation of the mesenteric root axis, being an uncommon, acute and generally fatal condition in canines. In this report, a clinical case of an 8-month-old male canine with a history of being run over by a car will be presented, which underwent a clinical examination, abdominal ultrasonography, x-rays, a blood count, the results of which led to suspicion of the pathology that it presented. the patient. Thanks to the laparotomy that allowed the exploration of the organs found in the abdominal cavity, it was determined that the canine was undergoing a mesenteric torsion, a fact that was supported by the peritoneal reaction that it presented in the ultrasound. Thus allowing surgical management to be carried out by performing an enteroanastomosis and proposing post-surgical treatment with meropenen 20mg/kg/IV/BID, dipyrone 28mg/kg/IV/BID, omeprazole 0.7mg/kg/IV/BID, fentanyl 1um/ kg/ hour. Currently the patient has shown a favorable evolution and continues in medical check-ups from time to time.
