Year 2006, Volume: 32 Issue: 3, 69 - 73, 21.12.2012

Abstract

ABSTRACT

In this case report, an uterus unicornis diagnosed following an operation in a 12 years old sexually intact Cocker Spaniel bitch presented to the clinic at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Istanbul with a complaint of prolonged vulval bleeding going on more than 5 weeks has been presented. Extended proestrous was diagnosed based on anamnesis and the clinical findings. An ovariohysterectomy was performed from the mid-line ventral abdominal wall in a routine manner. Visual examination of the reproductive tract during the surgery revealed absence of the left uterine horn, thickness of the right uterine horn and a polycystic left ovary. Histopathological examination of reproductive organs revealed unilateral cornual agenesis and cystic endometrial hyperplasia with an ovarian and para ovarian cysts. In conclusion, despite of regular estrus cycles as in this case, unilateral cornual agenesis should be taken into consideration as a possible hidden reason of infertility in bitches.

Key Words: Bitch, prolonged proestrus, congenital anomalies, uterus

 

SPANİEL KOCKER IRKİ DİŞİ BİR KÖPEKTE UTERUS UNİCORNİS (UNİLATERAL KORNUAL AGENESİ)

ÖZET

Bu olguda beş haftadır devam etmekte olan kanama şikayeti ile Fakülte'miz Kliniği'ne getirilen 12 yaşlı sağlıklı Spaniel Koker ırkı dişi bir köpekte operasyondan sonra fark edilen unilateral kornual agenesi olgusu sunulmaktadır. Alınan anemnez ve yapılan klinik muayenede köpeğe uzayan proostrus teşhisi konuldu. Rutin olarak yapılan yönteme göre köpeğe ovariohisterektomi operasyonu yapıldı. Makroskobik bakıda sol tarafta; ovaryumun polikistik, ancak kornunun oluşmadığı; sağ tarafta ise kornunun kalınlaştığı ve ovaryumun da küçük olduğu belirlendi. Reproduktif organların makroskobik incelemesinde unilateral kornual agenesi, ovarian ve paraovarian kistler, histopatolojik incelemesinde ise kistik endometrial hiperplazi tespit edildi. Sonuç olarak dişi köpeklerde düzenli östrus sikluslarına rağmen karşılaşılan bazı infertilite olgularında, unilateral kornual agenesi infertilitenin gizli nedeni olarak ihtimal dahilinde düşünülebilmelidir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Dişi köpek, uzayan proöstrus, kongenital anomaliler, uterus.
