Atresia coli is a congenital defect that result in an inability to pass feces since birth. In the present study, type IIIa atresia coli (blind ends) was identified in a male Arabian foal with clinical signs of abdominal distension, colic, failure in defecation and depression. At necropsy, segmental agenesis affected left ventral and right dorsal colon. The dorsal right colons, transverse, small colon and rectum were atrophic with narrow lumen. The prognosis was poor in this case. Atresia coli was reported in the various breed of foals but it seems this is the first report in an Arabian breed foal.

“…Elsa & Onyeyili (2004) reported two cases of goat kids affected with jejunal atresia corrected successfully by reseating and anastomosing the blind end so that the lumen of the intestine was patent for normal physiological function. Contrary to this, Abouelnasr et al (2012) have stated that in most animals with intestinal atresia like those of proximal sites, surgical treatment is not recommended due to limited accessibility, low chance of postoperative survival rate and economic considerations. Moreover, if the cause of atresia is genetic origin and/or the affected animal is intended for breeding, surgery is not recommended due to probable propagation of genetic defects (Abouelnasr et al, 2012).…”

“…The history and clinical signs of abdominal distention, anorexia, depression, lack of faeces in the rectum, and failure of passing meconium are all an indication of intestinal atresia (Elsa & Onyeyili, 2004;Radostitis et al, 2007;Abouelnasr et al, 2012). However, observation of these signs in calves less than eight days old suggests intestinal atresia (Abouelnasr et al, 2012).…”

“…However, observation of these signs in calves less than eight days old suggests intestinal atresia (Abouelnasr et al, 2012). Although intestinal atresia is a relatively common malformation, those that involve the ileocaecal region including ileocaecal valve and the associated mesentery with its blood vessels are considered to be extremely rare and little is known regarding their origin (Husaric et al, 2012).…”

Atresia of the distal ileum concurrent with ileocaecal valve agenesis is one of the rare types of intestinal atresia with very few reports in the literature. We herein present a case of type II distal ileal atresia, ileocaecal valve agenesis and volvulus of the ileum and the terminal jejunum with a history of depression, anorexia and failure to pass meconium. On necropsy, volvulus of the ileum and the terminal jejunum was found. The ileum was distended, full of fluid and gas, and similar to a blind-end sac. The ileocaecal valve was absent and the ileum was attached to the caecum by a fibrous band. The caecum was atrophied and small. The distal segments of the intestine were smaller than normal. These findings revealed type II terminal ileal atresia simultaneously agenesis of the ileocaecal valve and intestinal volvulus probably secondary to atresia in a newly born goat kid.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of right fossa paralumbar colostomy on the survival rate of calves with atresia coli maintained under Anatolian farming conditions. The clinical diagnosis was confirmed by clinical findings, pain and contrast radiographic examination. In clinical and indirect radiographic examination, rectum and descending colon were seen as more constricted than usual. In surgery, the abdominal cavity was opened through a vertical incision from the right paralumbar fossa. The blind end of the ascending colon was fixed to the abdominal wall in order to create a stoma. The postoperative course of the calves was obtained from the owners of the calves during a period of four months. It was learned that only one calf survived and the others died because of diarrhea within the four month period. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that although right fossa paralumbar colostomy was successfully performed for type-II atresia coli, severe functional impairment and fluid imbalance due to the loss of an important fluid resorption resulted in the death of most calves that were kept under Anatolian farming conditions.
