Displacement of the large colon associated with nonsurgical correction of large-colon entrapment in the renosplenic space in a mare

J Am Vet Med Assoc. 1990 Nov 1;197(9):1190-2.

Abstract

Nonsurgical correction of a renosplenic entrapment of the large colon was attempted in a mare, using a rolling technique. After correction, the mare had initial improvement in clinical signs, but later developed signs of abdominal discomfort. A ventral midline celiotomy was performed, and a pelvic flexure impaction and large intestinal volvulus were found and corrected.
