Histerocele inguinal gravídica em gata: relato de caso / Inguinal gravid hysterocele in feline: case report

A histerocele é uma condição rara na espécie felina, sendo caracterizada por protrusão do útero pelo anel inguinal. O diagnóstico diferencial inclui tumor mamário, linfadenopatia, hematoma, abscesso e granuloma. Assim, exames de imagem como a ultrassonografia abdominal apresentam importante papel no diagnóstico e prognóstico da doença. O tratamento dessa condição é cirúrgico e inclui a realização de herniorrafia e ovário-histerectomia, a fim de evitar recidivas e a transmissão hereditária. O presente trabalho relata um caso de uma gata adulta com aumento de volume inguinal. Ao exame ultrassonográfico foi identificada a presença de útero herniado, contendo três fetos viáveis. O tratamento consistiu em cesariana, ovário-histerectomia e herniorrafia pela via inguinal.(AU)

Hysterocele is a rare condition in the feline species, characterized by a protrusion of the uterus through the inguinal ring. Differential diagnoses include mammary tumors, lymphadenopathy, hematoma, abscess and granuloma. Thus, imaging tests such as abdominal ultrasound play an important role in the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. The treatment of this condition is surgical and includes the performance of herniorrhaphy and ovariohysterectomy, in order to avoid recurrences and hereditary transmission. The present study reports a case of an adult cat with increased inguinal volume. The ultrasound examination identified the presence of a herniated uterus, containing three viable fetuses. Treatment consisted of cesarean section, ovariohysterectomy and inguinal herniorrhaphy.(AU)

Enxerto conjuntival pediculado no tratamento cirúrgico de perfuração ocular em paciente canino / Pedicle conjunctival graft in surgical treatment of ocular perforation in a canine patient

A perfuração ocular é considerada uma emergência na oftalmologia veterinária. Ela ocorre quando camadas mais profundas da córnea são lesionadas, levando ao extravasamento dos componentes oculares. O tratamento é cirúrgico e dentre as técnicas existentes, os enxertos conjuntivais pediculados são considerados como procedimentos de eleição. O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de relatar um caso de perfuração corneana na qual realizou-se a técnica de enxerto conjuntival pediculado para recuperação da integridade do globo ocular de um paciente canino. Durante o pós-cirúrgico ocorreu a deiscência de sutura, sendo necessária a realização de uma nova cirurgia, alcançando assim a cicatrização da lesão e a preservação do bulbo ocular acometido.(AU)

Eye perforation is considered an emergency in veterinary ophthalmology. It occurs when deeper layers of the cornea are injured, leading to leakage of eye components. The treatment is surgical and among the existing techniques, pediculated conjunctival grafts are considered as procedures of choice. This paper aims to report a case of corneal perforation in which the pediculated conjunctival graft technique was performed to recover the integrity of the eyeball of a canine patient. During the postoperative period there was suture dehiscence and a new surgery was necessary, thus achieving wound healing and preservation of the affected ocular bulb.(AU)

On physical examination, hypothermia,hypermetria and hyperesthesia were observed. Full blood count and biochemical profilewere requested. Supportive treatment with lactated Ringers solution fluid therapy, vitaminB complex and patient warming was conducted. The animal showed a significant clinicalimprovement and total recovered a week later.(AU)
