Esophageal obstruction as a sequela to ruptured esophagus in a goat

J Am Vet Med Assoc. 1989 Dec 1;195(11):1598-600.

Abstract

Granulation tissue as a sequela to ruptured esophagus was diagnosed as the cause of esophageal obstruction and regurgitation in a 3.5-year-old Toggenburg buck. Thoracic radiography was useful in localization of the problem. The condition was successfully treated by removal of the granulation tissue through left-sided thoracotomy.
