Case of the Bilateral Congenital Hydrosalpinx in a Goat

Abstract

In this study, bilateral congenital hydrosalpinx in a goat was evaluated pathomorphologically and gynecologically. Material was obtained from the Antalya slaughterhouse. Macroscopically, both fallopians tubes were exteremely enlarged with serous fluid. The wall of the salpinx was became thiner, tube was strained due to fluid. Salpinxs were filled with clear, serous and totally 50 cc fluid. While the widthness of the right follapian tube was changing 14.56–16.87 mm in diameter, length was measured 71.53 mm. The left ones widhtness were changing 1.17–12.06 mm in diameter and legngth was measured 45.75 mm. Obstructions were observed where the righ tuba uterina connected the cornu uterina 29.32 mm, and the left tuba uterina connected the cornu uterina 27.16 mm. Epitheilal layer changes and epithelial desquamation were seen in some areas at the histopathologic examination. Epithelial cells were flattened and marked tinness was detected at the salpinx wall. The tinness was severe in the musculer layer. And muscular layer was changed in to the fibrous tissue in most of the areas. Because of the no previous gestations and absence of the inflammatory reaction, this case thougth to be congenital.

Bir Keçide Bilateral Konjenital Hidrosalpinks Olgusu

Abstract

Bu çalışmada bir keçide saptanan bilateral konjenital hidrosalpinks olgusunun patomorfolojik ve jinekolojik olarak değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma materyali Antalya mezbahanesinde kesilen 1 yaşlı, dişi bir kıl keçisine aitti. Makroskobik olarak her iki fallopian tüpünün içinde aşırı miktarda sıvı olduğu tesbit edildi. Tuba uterinanın duvarı oldukça incelmiş olup, tüp gergin görünümdeydi. Salpinksler açıldığında; berrak, seröz kıvamlı, şeffaf ve toplamda 50 cc kadar sıvı birikimi saptandı. Sağ taraftaki fallopian tüpünün eni 14.56–16.87 mm arasında değişirken boyu 71.53 mm ölçüldü. Sol tarafın ise eninin 1.17–12.06 mm arasında değişirken boyunun 45.75 mm olduğu saptandı. Sağ kornu uterinin tuba uterinaya bağlandığı yerde 29.32 mm’lik, sol kornunun tuba uterinaya bağlandığı yerde ise 27.16 mm’lik bir alanın tıkalı olduğu tespit edildi. Histopatolojik olarak ampulla ve istmus kısımlarında epitel tabakalarında değişiklikler ile bazı alanlarda epitel tabakalarında dökülmeler görüldü. Epitel hücreleri yassılaşmış ve salpinks duvarı oldukça incelmişti. Bu incelme kas tabakasında daha belirgin olup, birçok bölgede fibröz dokunun kas tabakasının yerini aldığı saptandı. Hayvanın hiç gebe kalmamış olması ve histopatolojik incelemede yangısal reaksiyonun görülmemesi olgunun konjenital olduğunu düşündürdü.
