“…44 Uroperitoneum can result from leakage of urine from the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra 45 as well as from rupture of a persistent urachus. 46,47 The most common cause of bladder rupture is dystocia in cows 23,48,49,50,51 and urinary obstruction 50 associated with urolithiasis or urethral compression by a hematoma 52 in male cattle. A persistent urachus may rupture spontaneously for reasons that remain unclear.…”

Ultrasonography enables the examiner to detect very small amounts of fluid in the peritoneal cavity and to determine its location, amount, and sonographic features. The pathologic process responsible for the ascites, for example, ileus, hepatic fibrosis, thrombosis of the caudal vena cava, or traumatic reticuloperitonitis, often can be identified. Abdominocentesis and analysis of the aspirated fluid allow differentiation of inflammatory and noninflammatory ascites as well as the diagnosis of uroperitoneum, hemoperitoneum, chylous ascites, and bile peritonitis.

“…In cows, uroperitoneum due to urinary bladder rupture is most often associated with dystocia [1,2,11], but may also be the result of a breeding injury, traumatic catheterisation, accidental introduction of an insemination pipette into the urinary bladder or sadism [3]. Haematomas in the pelvic region may also result from haemorrhage into the broad ligament or mesentery because of dystocia or from haemorrhage within the renal capsule after kidney trauma [12].…”

Ruptured urinary bladder attributable to urethral compression by a haematoma after vertebral fracture in a bull

BackgroundIn male cattle, rupture of the urinary bladder is usually associated with urethral obstruction by uroliths. Less common causes include urethral compression or stricture. This case report describes the findings in a young Limousion breeding bull with rupture of the urinary bladder because of urethral compression by a haematoma after coccygeal fracture.Case presentationThe bull had been introduced into a 40-head Red-Holstein herd one week before being injured. One week after introduction to the herd, the bull had an acute onset of anorexia and he was referred to the clinic. There was marked abdominal distension, reduced skin turgor and enophthalmus. The serum concentration of urea and creatinine was increased. Ultrasonographic examination revealed severe ascites and abdominocentesis yielded clear yellow fluid with high urea and creatinine concentrations, which supported a diagnosis of uroperitoneum. The bull was euthanatized because of a poor prognosis. Postmortem examination revealed a comminuted fracture of the first two coccygeal vertebrae associated with a massive haematoma that obstructed entire pelvic cavity. The haematoma compressed the urethra thereby preventing outflow of urine, which resulted in a 5-cm tear ventrally at the neck of the bladder. It was assumed that the newly-introduced bull had sustained the vertebral fractures when he was mounted by a cow.ConclusionsThe present case study serves to expand the differential diagnosis of urinary bladder rupture. Therefore, in addition to obstructive urolithiasis, compression and stricture of the urethra might be considered in male cattle with uroperitoneum.

ZusammenfassungDie Endoskopie hat in den letzten Jahren in der Buiatrik an Bedeutung gewonnen. So sind beim Rind der obere Respirationstrakt (Rhino-, Pharyngo-, Laryngo-, Tracheo-, Bronchoskopie), Teile des Gastrointestinalund Harntrakts (Ösophagoskopie, Rumenoskopie, Urethrozystoskopie), die Zitze (Theloskopie) und die Bauchhöhle (Laparoskopie) einer endoskopischen Untersuchung zugänglich. Die durch die visuelle Darstellung erhobenen Befunde ermöglichen es oftmals, auf rasche und schonende Weise krankhafte Veränderungen zu erkennen. Flexible Endoskope unterschiedlicher Dimensionen kommen bei Erkrankungen der Atemwege und des Ösophagus zum Einsatz. Dabei kann die Endoskopie einerseits nasale Sinuszysten, Verletzungen im Pharynxbereich oder Larynxnekrosen visualisieren, andererseits durch die unter Sicht durchgeführte Biopsie einer tumorösen Umfangsvermehrung zur Diagnosestellung beitragen. Die Rumenoskopie besitzt bislang vorrangig ex pe rimentellen Charakter. Die Urethrozystoskopie erweitert die diagnos tischen Möglichkeiten bei Zystitis, Harnblasenruptur, Harnblasentu moren oder Pyelonephritis. Die Theloskopie hat sich in vielen Praxen in der chirurgischen Behandlung von Milchabflussstörungen bewährt, da Milchsteine, Schleimhautabrisse und andere Zubildungen unter Sicht entfernt werden können. Weiterhin ist die Laparoskopie zur Behebung einer linksseitigen Labmagenverlagerung weit verbreitet.
