  • Title: Uterine torsion in mares.
    Author: Yorke EH, Caldwell FJ, Johnson AK.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Vet; 2012 Dec; 34(12):E2. PubMed ID: 23532880.
    Abstract:
    Uterine torsion typically occurs during mid to late gestation and is estimated to cause 5% to 10% of all equine obstetric emergencies. Clinical signs include abdominal pain that may be mistaken for gastrointestinal distress, parturition, or abortion. Uterine torsion is an emergency for the mare and fetus, and early recognition and intervention are essential to optimizing the chance of survival. This article reviews the etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of uterine torsion in mares.
