Resumen: La reticulopericarditis traumática es una enfermedad que puede afectar, severamente, a los bovinos, al producir efectos importantes como reducción en su rendimiento general y descarte temprano. La ingestión de cuerpos extraños punzocortantes, causantes de una reticuloperitonitis, en primera instancia, es el factor primario, mientras que las contracciones ruminales y la presión del útero grávido son factores favorecedores. Se describe, en este trabajo, los aspectos clínicos y hallazgos post mortem de un caso de reticulopericarditis, de un Bos indicus, macho, de ocho años. Se hace especial énfasis en el abordaje clínico y los hallazgos ultrasonográficos a nivel de cavidad abdominal y cavidad torácica. Mediante el diagnóstico clínico y el apoyo de las imágenes, se evidenció una pericarditis séptica. Dada la condición del animal, se procedió al sacrifico. Se reporta, entonces, las alteraciones orgánicas macroscópicas y microscópicas producidas por la enfermedad.Palabras claves: bovinos, cebú, trópico, ultrasonido, patología, sistema digestivo, sistema cardiovascular.Abstract: Traumatic reticuloperitonitis is a disease that can severely affect cattle by producing important chronic effects leading to decreased productive performance and early culling. The ingestion of sharp objects, which can cause reticuloperitonitis as a primary cause, is the primary factor. Conditions such as ruminal contractions and the pressure of the gravid uterus may favor the disease. This paper describes clinical aspects and post-mortem findings of a case of reticuloperitonitis in an eight-year old Bos indicus male. Special emphasis is made on the clinical approach and the ultrasound findings of the abdominal and thoracic cavities. As a result of the clinical diagnosis supported with ultrasound images, a septic pericarditis was evidenced. Given its condition, the animal was sacrificed. Consequently, macroscopic and microscopic organic alterations caused by the disease are reported in the paper.
