Duodenal Obstruction Caused by Volvulus of the Duodenal Sigmoid Flexure in Dairy Cattle
نویسنده
چکیده
Duodenal obstructions are uncommon in cattle. Recently, a new condition clinically resembling abomasal volvulus (AV) but affecting the duodenal sigmoid flexure (SF) has been recognized in dairy cattle. The purpose of this retrospective study was to characterize this condition and determine the prognosis of cattle undergoing surgery. We hypothesized that values obtained from bloodwork would be of diagnostic value.

Besides this, duodenal obstruction may occur due to high fixation of duodenojejunal junction or due to hyperfixation bands at duodenojejunal flexure(l-5). We are presenting three cases in which duodenal obstruction occurred in the presence of normally rota...
