Abstract

A three-day-old montafon calf brought to the clinic died in spite of intervention attempts. The necropsy of this calf was about 1 liter of cheese-packed dairy cows in the abdominal cavity, where the intestines were filled with anemic and gas. The liver tissue was pale gray-white in color. Duedonum was not present where it should have been between jejenum and the end of abomasum’s pyloris region. Instead, there was a structure presenting hyperemic and adipose tissue about 25-30 cm, along with lymp nodules. At the end of the Pylorus and at the beginning of the jejunum, there were luminal structures near the thick, crumpled crater-like circle. Pancreas was not present where it should be found anatomically. In the chest cavity, it was observed that the lungs were somewhat reddish in color and not well collapsed. Heart was anemic of and muscles were pale. Due to necropsy findings and histopathological examination, this case which is rarely seen at calves is the first case reported from Turkey, which is defined as a congenital duodenal agenesis.

Abstract

Agoni halinde kliniğe getirilen 3 günlük Montofon buzağının yapılan müdahaleye rağmen öldü. Bu buzağıya yapılan nekropside barsakların anemik ve gazla dolu olduğu, karın boşluğunda kazeöz yapılar görüldü. Karaciğer dokusu soluk gri-beyaz renkte idi. Duodenum normalde jejunum ve abomasumun pilorik bölgesi arasında olması gereken yerde mevcut değildi. Bunun yerine, lenf nodülleri ile birlikte yaklaşık 25-30 cm'lik hiperemik ve yağ dokusu sunan bir yapı vardı. Pylorus'un sonunda ve jejunumun başında, kalın, buruşuk krater benzeri dairenin yakınında lüminal yapılar vardı. Pankreas anatomik olarak bulunması gereken yerde yoktu. Göğüs boşluğunda akciğerler konjensyonlu ve kollabe olmadığı gözlendi. Kalp kası soluk renkte idi. Buzağılarda ender görülen, nekropsi bulguları ve histopatolojik incelemeler sonucunda konjenital duodenal agenezis olarak tanımlanan bu olgu Türkiye’den bildirilen ilk vakadır.
