Abstract

 A 3.5-year-old, pregnant Pekingese was presented with signs of dystocia. Vaginal examination re-vealed no fetuses in the birth canal, and no heart beats were observed in the fetuses, ultrasonographically. Four dead fetuses were retrieved by en bloc ovariohysterectomy. All fetuses had hind limb deformities and intestinal evantration was observed in three fetuses. A diagnosis of arthrogryposis and abdominal wall defect complicated with intestinal evantration was made after the macroscopic examination of the fetuses. The owner did not permit necropsy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of arthrogryposis and abdominal wall defect com-plicated with intestinal eventration encountered in Pekingese fetuses.

Pekinez Fetuslarında Artrogripozis ve İntestinal Evantrasyonla Komplike Abdominal Duvar Defekti

Abstract

 Gebe 3,5 yaşlı bir Pekinez güç doğum bulgularıyla getirildi. Vaginal muayene doğum kanalında fötus olmadığı açıkladı ve ultrasonografik muayenede fötuslarda kalp sesleri gözlenmedi. En-blok ovariyohisterktomi ile dört ölü fetus çıkarıldı. Tüm fötuslar arka ekstremite deformasyonuna sahipti ve üç fötusta intestinal evant-rasyon gözlendi. Fötusların makroskopik muayeneleri sonrasında artrogripozis ve intestinal evantrasyonla komp-like abdominal duvar defekti tanısı konuldu. Nekropsi hasta sahibi tarafından istenmedi. Bizim bilgimize gore Pekinez fetuslarında karşılaşılan artrogripozis ve intestinal evantrasyonla kompike abdominal duvar defekti ilk olgudur.
