Case Study
RAD – Regional mesenteric peritonitis or effusion in a 4 year old DSH cat presented for stranguria
DX
The radiographic findings are suggestive for regional mesenteric peritonitis or effusion. Moreover a non-specific small intestinal maldigestion pattern is noted.
Image Interpretation
Lateral and VD abdomen – The serosal detail appears to be reduced in the region of the small intesine. The small
intestinal loops are bunched within the central and right abdomen and reveal an
abnormal gas content. There is no intestinal dilation. A foreign body is not seen.
The stomach contains a mild amount of gas and fluid. The urinary bladder
is moderately distended. No abnormal opacities are noted within the urinary bladder or
throughout the course of the urethra.
Outcome
In case the radiographic findings are paralleled by clinical signs of gastrointestinal
disease further definition by abdominal ultrasound is warranted.
There was no evidence of radio-opaque calculi throughout the urinary tract.
