THE CLINICOPATHOLOGICAL FINDINGS DUE TO A GRASS AWN (HORDEUM SPP) DETECTED IN THE RIGHT AURICLE OF A DOG

Year 2006, Volume: 32 Issue: 3, 59 - 67, 21.12.2012

Abstract

ABSTRACT

In this case lesions that occured due to a grass awn detected in the right auricle of the heart of a 6-year-old female, German Pointer were described. Presenting signs were abdominal distention, icterus, anorexia and lethargy. Radiography revealed hypervascularization and loss of contrast in caudal lung lobe, elevation of trachea, hepatomegaly and splenomegaly. The echocardiography revealed dilation of the pulmonary artery and the right ventricle and paradoxiyal septal motion. A presumptive diagnosis was made of liver and right heart failure. Abdominocentesis and symptomatic treatments were administered to the patient. However the patient did not respond to the therapy and gradually deteriorated and she died within a month.

At the necropsy transudate was observed in the abdominal cavity at an approximate amount of 2 lt. The grass awn was detected in the right auricula of the heart. The lungs were swollen and mottled. The liver was over-enlarged and congested. Histopathologically, myocardial necrosis was evident. Annular foreign bodies putative of grass awn, foreign-body giant cells with multiple nuclei and foci of abcesses with numerous dejenerative neutrophil leukoctytes were observed in myocardium. Cellular and purulent bronchopneumonia and thrombosis were typical in the lungs. Furthermore, portal venous vessels and hepatic lymphatics were dilated and collagenous fibrous proliferation was evident within the walls of the vessels.

Key Words: dog, grass awn, right auricle, liver, Budd-Chiari-like syndrome

 

BİR KÖPEKTE SAĞ AURİKULADA SAPTANAN PİSİ PİSİ OTU'NA (HORDEUM SPP) BAĞLI GELİŞEN KLİNİK VE PATOLOJİK BULGULAR

ÖZET

Bu vakada 6 yaşındaki dişi Alman Puanter ırkı köpeğin sağ kalp aurikulasında saptanan pisi pisi otu'na bağlı gelişen lezyonlar değerlendirildi. Kliniğe abdominal distensiyon, ikterus, anoreksi ve halsizlik şikayetiyle getirilen köpeğin radyografisinde akciğer kaudal loblarında hipervaskularizasyon ile birlikte opaklaşma, trachea'da dislokasyon, hepatomegali ve splenomegali saptandı. Ekokardiyografide arteria pulmonalis ve sağ ventrikülde dilatasyon, interventriküler septumda paradoksiyal hareket izlendi. Hastada sağ kalp ve karaciğer yetmezliğinden şüphelenildi. Hastadan abdominal sentezle üç gunde 1,5 litre sıvı alındı ve semptomatik tedavi uygulandı. Tedavinin başında genel durumu düzelmesine rağmen daha sonra giderek kötüleşti ve altıncı ay'da oldu. Yapılan nekropside karın boşluğunda 2 lt kadar modifiye transudat saptandı. Sağ kalp aurikulasında pisi pisi otu, akciğerlerin şişkin ve mozaik manzarası görünüm aldığı, karaciğerde de aşırı büyüme ve konjesyon saptandı. Histolopatolojik incelemede kalp kasında nekroz, pisi pisi otu'na ait halka benzeri yapılar ve yabancı cisim dev hücreleri ile çok sayıda dejeneratif nötrofil lökositten oluşan apse alanları saptandı. Akciğerlerde selluler ve irinli bronkopneumoni ve damarlarda tromboz gözlendi. Karaciğerde sinosidlerde dilatasyon ve şiddetli konjesyon, hepatositlerde atrofi ve nekroz izlendi. Ayrıca portal venlerde ve hepatik lenf damarlarında dilatasyon ve damar duvarlarında kollagen doku artışı saptandı. Sunulan bu olgu iç organlarda (akciğer, periton) nadiren görülen pisi pisi otunun sağ aurikulada saptanan ilk olgu olduğunu ve intrakariyak yabancı cisme bağlı olarak karaciğerde gelişen klinikopatolojik bulguların Budd-Chiari benzeri sendromu ile benzerlik gösterdiğini düşünmekteyiz.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Köpek, Pisi pisi otu, Sağ aurikula, Karaciğer, Budd-Chiari benzeri sendrom
