Estenosis pilórica en canino bulldog francés.

Abstract

Pyloric stenosis is usually seen in brachycephalic canine breeds, it can also occur as a result of mastocytomas, which secrete histamine, and pancreatic gastrinomas that produce excessive gastrin production (Zollinger-Ellison syndrome). This hormone not only causes thickening of the stomach musculature, but also decreases the intragastric pH, causing mucosal hypertrophy; other causes of hypertrophy include neoplasia, pancreatic or hepatic abscesses. We report a clinical case of a male canine, French Bulldog breed, 4 months old, who was admitted for consultation where the owners indicated that he had several days with episodes of vomiting, then proceeded to perform the clinical examination finding pain on abdominal palpation, it was recommended to perform abdominal ultrasound, endoscopy and X-rays of the abdominal cavity, laboratory tests were also performed. With the results found in the diagnostic tests, pyloric stenosis was established as the definitive diagnosis. Key words: pyloric stenosis, canine, ultrasound, vomiting, endoscopy. “La estenosis pilórica es una disfunción del píloro con alteración anatómic
