Although this disease is commonly related in intestines, similar conditions have already been observed in other contractile tubular organs, such as stomach and esophagus (Brady et al, 2017;Shibly et al, 2014;Torad & Hassan, 2015) and uterus (Ağaoğlu et al, 2012;Izquierdo & Cueto, 2010;Pinto et al, 2015).…”

Uterine intussusception is a rare condition in bitches. This study aimed to report an unusual case of prolapsed uterine intussusception in a female dog. A 2-year-old American Bully bitch was received with labor history of large fetus requiring manual traction. The animal presented mucosal prolapse through the vulva, unproductive contractions and abdominal discomfort. After partial correction of mucosal prolapse, the dog was referred to ovary-hysterectomy surgery to correct prolapsed mucosa. During the surgical procedure, surgeons observed that the uterine horns were invaginated into the uterine body, rotated, and the tissue was slightly devitalized and congested. As previously described, this condition occurred during the immediate postpartum period. Thus, we suggest that this period can be a facilitator for the establishment of uterine intussusception.

“…The underlying mechanisms of GEI are not well understood (Pollock and Rhodes 1970, von Werthern and others 1996, Shibly and others 2014, Torad and Hassan 2015). Theories include gradual weakening of the oesophagus due to progressive intussusception, disease causing underlying weakness in the oesophagus such as myasthenia gravis and abnormal development of the oesophageal hiatus (Pollock and Rhodes 1970, von Werthern and others 1996, Shibly and others 2014).…”

“…Although ideal treatment of GEI is not known given the minimal number of reported cases for this disease, it appears that bilateral gastropexy (Pollock and Rhodes 1970, von Werthern and others 1996, Pietra and others 2003, Côté 2007, Torad and Hassan 2015) is commonly performed, especially in younger dogs. Use of a left-sided feeding tube gastropexy as a second source of fixation and tightening of the oesophageal hiatus have not been reported, to the authors’ knowledge.…”

“…This case report describes GEI in an adult German shepherd dog. GEI is a rarely described condition, with presentation in an adult dog even less common (Graham and others 1998, Lockwood and others 2010, Torad and Hassan 2015). Invagination of the spleen into the intussusception has been previously reported in a seven‐week‐old German shepherd dog, but has not been documented in an adult (Emery and others 2015).…”

SummaryThis case report describes the presentation, treatment and outcome of an adult German shepherd dog with gastroesophageal intussusception (GEI). The dog’s presenting complaint included acute lethargy, and a single bout of excessive drinking followed by immediate regurgitation. After patient stabilisation, radiographs were taken which revealed a soft tissue opacity in the caudodorsal thorax and lack of a gastric silhouette in the abdomen. The patient was diagnosed with GEI, a laparotomy was performed and the stomach and spleen were surgically reduced. A right-sided incisional gastropexy, left-sided tube gastropexy, splenectomy and narrowing of the oesophageal hiatus were performed. The patient developed aspiration pneumonia postoperatively, likely secondary to megaoesophagus, which responded to antimicrobials. The gastric tube was removed 31 days after surgery and the patient had no further clinical signs eight months postoperatively.

A 25-week-old, male entire, Briard was referred following acute-onset vomiting of 72 hours’ duration. Radiographic and endoscopic investigation revealed a suspected gastro-oesophageal intussusception (GEI). The intussusception was surgically reduced and a left-sided gastropexy and oesodiaphragmatopexy was performed. The patient survived to discharge despite aspiration pneumonia and megaoesophagus, and 12 months following surgery was doing well with only minor regurgitation. GEI is a rare condition with a guarded prognosis, but successful outcomes are possible. To the authors’ knowledge this is the first report of GEI in a Briard.
