Q4: What are the possible treatment options? The simplest surgical option for small or crushable enteroliths is to milk them distally into the caecum and allow them to pass naturally. If this is not possible, the treatment of this condition is an enterotomy to remove the enterolith with or without resection of the segment of small bowel involved with diverticulosis. Resection may be advocated i...

Small bowel diverticulosis represents an uncommon pathology that is often misdiagnosed, since it causes non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms. It is defined by the existence of multiple diverticula, which are located most frequently in the jejunum. Diagnosis often occurs following the presentation of related complications such as diverticulitis, haemorrhage, perforation or obstruction. Intesti...

An intestinal concretion (enterolith) was recovered during necropsy of a horse from Medina County, Ohio. The object is approximately spherical in shape and measures 9 X 8 X 7 cm in diameter. It is composed of struvite (NH4MgPO4 • 6H2O). The monohydrate dittmarite was not found. In addition to Mg and P, significant concentrations (^500 ppm) of Ca, K, and Fe and lesser amounts (^500 ppm) of Na, M...

Simple luminal obstructions of the large and small colon are relatively common causes of colic in horses, and are caused by feed impaction, sand accumulation, fibrous foreign body ingestion, nonstrangulating displacements, and or enterolith formation. Many horses with large colon and small colon feed impactions respond to medical treatment, including withholding feed, administering fluid therap...

AbsractWe are presenting a case of abdominal tuberculosis who had peritonitis and twolarge enteroliths were removed from the small intestine during laparotomy. Followinga full course of medical treatment, she developed small bowel obstruction andtreated by laparotomy & enterolysis but showed no evidence of stricture. We had adiagnostic and management challenge which will be discussed along with...
