| 中文描述 | 巨結腸症可能是先天的，也可能是後天的。犬貓較常發生後天性的巨結腸症，先天性的則罕見。可能繼發於腫瘤造成的阻塞、狹窄、直腸外的腫塊、異物、或飲食不慎。遠端脊髓的病變也會造成巨結腸症。貓咪大部份的巨結腸症病因不明。藉由病史、腹部處診、與放射線學檢查進行診斷。豬也有發生自發性巨結腸症的病例報告。 |
| 英文描述 | Megacolon can be congenital or acquired. Congenital megacolon is rare in dogs and cats, but acquired megacolon is seen more commonly. May be secondary to mechanical obstruction by neoplasia, strictures, extracolonic masses, foreign bodies, or dietary indiscretion. Lesions of the distal spinal cord can lead to megacolon. Most cases in cats are idiopathic. Dx by history, abdominal palpation, and radiography. Idiopathic megacolon has been described in pigs. |
