“…In companion animals, the most common cause of esophageal stricture formation is gastroesophageal reflux associated with general anesthesia [105, 110–112]. However, esophageal stricture formation may also occur secondary to foreign bodies [103, 113], ingestion of caustic agents [111, 114], or vomiting/reflux unrelated to anesthesia [115]. Iatrogenic esophageal stricture formation has been linked to administration of doxycycline in cats [116, 117].…”

“…22 Steroids are often used in treatment for similar conditions in dogs and cats, although limited published evidence of efficacy is available. 23,24 The potential utility of corticosteroids specifically on muscular contractures are not well documented in the literature in any species. Steroids could also work by other mechanisms.…”

Case summaryA 6-month-old cat was successfully treated for bilateral quadriceps contracture. Conventional treatments including surgery, dynamic flexion apparatus and physical therapy along with analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs resulted in temporary clinical improvement that was relapsing. The initiation of supplementary corticosteroid treatment with prednisolone coincided with an immediate and sustained clinical improvement and long-term resolution.Relevance and novel informationSuccessful treatment of bilateral quadriceps contracture has not previously been reported in a cat. Quadriceps contracture remains a challenging condition to treat with some cases unresponsive to therapy. Systemic prednisolone treatment appeared to be of benefit in the management of this case and may have a role in some cats where muscle contracture appears relapsing in nature. Further prospective investigations in cats with muscle contracture, including muscle biopsies of affected cats, are warranted.

“…A ressecção do segmento esofágico estenosado por fibrose foi o tratamento de escolha no presente relato, pois a estenose era grave e não permitia a realização das técnicas conservativas como bougienage (dilatação por velas) (BISSETT et al, 2009), dilatação por balão (LEIB et al, 2001) ou uso de dispositivos auto expansores (stents) (BATTERSBY e DOYLE, 2010). As técnicas de bougienage, de dilatação por balão e o uso de stents são eficientes no tratamento de estenoses esofágicas menos graves (LEIB et al, 2001;BISSETT et al, 2009; BATTERSBY e DOYLE, 2010), especialmente quando associadas a aplicação local de corticoides para evitar a recidiva da retração cicatricial (CORGOZINHO et al, 2006;FRAUNE et al, 2009).…”

A ressecção do esôfago é considerada um desafio uma vez que o risco de deiscência da sutura nesse órgão é maior que nos demais segmentos do sistema digestório.…”

RESUMO:Megaesôfago é caracterizado por uma dilatação esofágica com comprometimento do seu peristaltismo. O presente estudo relata um caso clínico de megaesôfago secundário a estenose esofágica em uma gata, siamesa, com 1 ano de idade, com histórico de regurgitação crônica refratária ao tratamento. O animal apresentava histórico de vômito recorrente após ser submetida à castração e receber medicação pós-operatória na forma de comprimidos. O paciente apresentava emagrecimento progressivo, regurgitação crônica e grave desidratação. O exame radiográfico mostrou acúmulo de conteúdo no esôfago torácico sugerindo obstrução que foi confirmado no exame contrastado. A paciente foi estabilizada e submetida à esofagectomia para restabelecimento do fluxo da ingesta no esôfago. No pós-operatório recebeu tratamento suporte com fluido intravenoso, antibiótico e antiinflamatório e foi instituído manejo alimentar com dieta líquida ministrada com o animal em posição bipedal. A recuperação do paciente foi satisfatória. Concluindo-se que a estenose esofágica é uma alteração grave que pode levar ao megaesôfago e que seu tratamento pela esofagectomia parcial e manejo alimentar é eficiente permitindo a completa recuperação do animal.Palavras-chave: Esôfago.

ESOPHAGEAL STENOSIS WITH MEGAESOPHAGUS IN CAT: CASE REPORT SUMMARY:Megaesophagus is characterized by an esophageal dilation with commitment of its peristalsis. This study reports a case of megaesophagus secondary to esophageal stricture in a cat, Siamese, 1 year old, with a history of refractory chronic regurgitation treatment.The animal had repeated vomiting history after undergoing castration and receive postoperative medication in tablet form. The patient had progressive weight loss, chronic regurgitation and severe dehydration. The radiographic examination showed content accumulation in the thoracic esophagus suggesting obstruction was confirmed on contrast examination. The patient was stabilized and underwent esophagectomy for restoring the intake flow in the esophagus. The animal received postoperative treatment with intravenous fluid support, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory and feed management was instituted with liquid diet given to the animal in bipedal position. The patient's recovery was satisfactory. It concluded that esophageal stenosis is a serious condition that can lead to megaesophagus and that his treatment by partial esophagectomy and feeding management is efficient allowing full recovery of the animal.

Risk factors and outcome of bougienage for treatment of benign esophageal strictures in dogs and cats: 28 cases (1995–2004)

Abstract: Results suggested that esophageal bougienage was a safe and effective treatment for most dogs and cats with BES, with outcomes similar to those reported for balloon dilation.
