Atresia Coli in an Arabian Foal
نویسندگان
چکیده
Atresia coli is a congenital defect that result in an inability to pass feces since birth. In the present study, type IIIa atresia coli (blind ends) was identified in a male Arabian foal with clinical signs of abdominal distension, colic, failure in defecation and depression. At necropsy, segmental agenesis affected left ventral and right dorsal colon. The dorsal right colons, transverse, small colon and rectum were atrophic with narrow lumen. The prognosis was poor in this case. Atresia coli was reported in the various breed of foals but it seems this is the first report in an Arabian breed foal.

The defect in the B-lymphocyte system was shown by hypogammaglobulinemia, lymphopenia, and absence of germinal centers. The almost total absence of thymic tissue in one foal and the lack of thymic dependent lymphocytes in the spleens of both foals demonstrate a T-lymphocyte defect. In a r...
