- Abstract
A 19-month-old female thoroughbred horse presented with a history of acute abdominal pain. When the horse was four months of age, she underwent abdominal surgery and most of the strangulated jejunum and ileum were resected and anastomosed using an end-to-end technique. Subsequently, the horse was diagnosed with an ileal obstruction secondary to an adhesion of the greater omentum, which caused a mechanical obstruction of the lumen of the distal ileum. The ileum was released by transecting the adhesion and performing an omentectomy. After surgical intervention, the horse recovered quickly and was discharged fifteen days after surgery. This case report describes an ileal obstruction caused by an omental adhesion that formed after a jejunoileal anastomosis in a thoroughbred horse. The clinical, imaging, and surgical findings are described.
