| 英文描述 | Splenic torsion not associated with gastric volvulus is rare in the dog. Etiology is unknown but may be related to partial gastric volvulus which corrects, leaving the splenic pedicle torsed. Dx is by signs and detection of massive splenomegaly by palpation and radiology. Anemia, hemoglobinuria, and hemoglobinemia may be present. Should be suspected in young, large breed, deep chested dogs with history of vomiting and anorexia. Rare presentations include chronic case found at laparotomy or acute shock and collapse. |
