ABSTRACT
Background: The abdominal lipomas are benign tumors of hyperplastic growth that originate from mesenteric adiposetissue, most commonly in the small intestine. Pedunculated lipoma strangulation occurs when the pedicle wraps aroundan intestinal loop and its mesentery, obstructing the intestinal lumen and blood supply of the affected segment. The aim ofthe present study is to report a case of a Criollo mare presenting a strangulating obstruction of the jejunum and ileum bya pedunculated lipoma, focusing the discussion in the causes and epidemiology of this alteration.Case: A 24-year-old Criollo mare with a body condition score 8 out of 9 was referred to the Veterinary Clinical Hospitalof the Federal University of Pelotas (HCV-UFPel) presenting acute abdominal pain. At the hospital, the mare was presenting mild signs of abdominal discomfort. At the initial clinical exam, the mare had an increased heart and respiratory rates,normal body temperature, hyperemic mucous membranes, capillary refil time of 3 s and absent gut sounds in all fourquadrants during auscultation. Mild dehydration was present, increased fibrinogen and serum lactate. Rectal palpationrevealed distention of the small intestine by gas, during abdominal ultrassonography the small intestinal wall thicknesswas increased Peritoneal lactate was 11 mmol/L and protein was 6 mg/dL. Due to the clinical findings during the exam, anexploratory celiotomy was performed. Necrosis of the final third of jejunum and the entire extension of ileum was found.Examining the compromised intestinal portion, it was observed a linear structure strangulating two segments of the smallintestine. Taking into account the extensive area of irreversible necrosis and the advanced age of the patient, euthanasiawas performed. The mare was then referred for necropsy and findings confirmed...(AU)

No município de Pelotas/RS é comum a utilização de equinos para realizar coleta de resíduos recicláveis ou realização de pequenos fretes, e estima-se que aproximadamente 1500 famílias dependam do cavalo como fonte de renda. E com a finalidade de dar suporte a estas famílias existe o projeto de extensão realizado junto ao loteamento Ceval, o Ambulatório Veterinário do Hospital de Clínicas Veterinária da Universidade Federal de Pelotas(HCV-UFPel) que busca levar aos carroceiros do município de Pelotas/RS, um auxílio para melhor desenvolver a atividade, com enfoque na saúde e bem-estar dos equinos. Foram atendidos 456 equinos no ambulatório veterinário do HCV-UFPel, sendo que 64,69% (295/456) machos e 35,31 % (161/456) fêmeas, 20,18% (92/456) jovens (até cinco anos de idade) e 79,82% (364/456) adultos (com seis anos ou mais), 98,86% (451/456) animais sem raça definida, 0,25% (1/456) da raça Crioula e 0,88% (4/456) Pôneis, Durante o período avaliado foram realizados 792 atendimentos, sendo 27,15% (215/792) retornos e 26,01% (206/792) casos de revisão. Relacionado aos sistemas orgânicos, 14,04% (127/792) com alterações clínicas musculoesqueléticas, 16,04% (113/792) do sistema tegumentar,5,68% (45/792) problemas gastrointestinais, 5,56% (44/792) distúrbios do sistema respiratório, 3,91% (31/792)alterações gênito urinárias, 1,01% (8/792) com enfermidades oftálmicas e 0,38% (3/792) com alterações neurológicas.As principais alterações encontradas nos cavalos de carroça da cidade de Pelotas/RS no período de 2014 e 2015 foram relacionadas ao sistema musculoesquelético, seguido do sistema tegumentar, demonstrando a necessidade de mais orientações aos carroceiros sobre manejo de equinos. O elevado número de animais que retornam para atendimento evidencia a importância do trabalho realizado junto a esses proprietários, que capacita para que ocorra o manejo apropriado, visando manter a saúde e o bem-estar dos equinos.
