  • Title: Trichophytobezoar as a cause of transverse colon obstruction in a foal.
    Author: Yvorchuk-St Jean KE, Debowes RM, Gift LJ, Kraft SL, Sinha AK, Kennedy GA.
    Journal: Cornell Vet; 1993 Apr; 83(2):169-75. PubMed ID: 8467703.
    Abstract:
    A 5-week-old belgian colt was examined for colic of 12 hours duration after several episodes of diarrhea. Physical examination revealed signs of abdominal pain, mild dehydration and normal auscultable borborygmi in all abdominal quadrants. Distention of the cecum, large colon and small intestinal was evident on abdominal radiographs. The foal was treated medically as the owners declined surgery. The colt was euthanized because of continued deterioration and failure to respond to medical therapy. Post-mortem exam revealed the presence of a trichophytobezoar obstructing the distal part of the transverse colon.
