Abstract

Background: Choke (oesophageal obstruction) is an important oesophageal disorder in large domestic animals. Published studies on choke in the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius) are few in number and deal with small number of cases.

Methods: Sixty-four camels with choke were presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, King Faisal University. History, breed, age, sex, duration of obstruction and clinical signs were recorded. The diagnosis was established using examination with a stomach tube, oesophageal radiography and endoscopy. Choke was managed either by using alligator forceps guided endoscope or by cervical oesophagotomy.

Results: Choke was recorded in camels less than 1 year old (84.38%) more than camels more than 1 year of age (15.62%) and complete obstruction more than partial. Most cases had obstruction involving the cervical oesophagus (96.87%). In the majority of obstructive masses, there were pieces of fabric (48.44%) and plastic bags (35.94%). Most obstructive masses were slightly radio-opaque (62.5%). Surgical and non-surgical managements were effective (91.3% and 94.44%, respectively) in resolving the choke.

Conclusions: Choke was most likely in animals less than 1 year of age with complete obstruction of the cervical oesophagus. Surgical and non-surgical methods were effective in resolving the choke in the dromedary camels. It was not practical to use forceps extraction in all adult camels due to the limited length of the alligator forceps.

沙特阿拉伯 64 头单峰驼噎食(食道梗阻)的回顾性研究。
背景:哽噎(食道梗阻)是大型家畜的一种重要食道疾病。已发表的有关单峰骆驼(Camelus dromedarius)噎食的研究很少,而且涉及的病例数量也很少:方法:费萨尔国王大学兽医教学医院共接收了 64 头窒息的骆驼。记录了病史、品种、年龄、性别、阻塞持续时间和临床症状。通过胃管检查、食道拍片和内窥镜检查确定诊断。通过鳄鱼钳引导内窥镜或颈部食道切开术对窒息进行处理:1 岁以下骆驼(84.38%)发生窒息的比例高于 1 岁以上骆驼(15.62%),且完全梗阻的比例高于部分梗阻。大多数病例的阻塞涉及颈部食道(96.87%)。在大多数梗阻性肿块中,有布片(48.44%)和塑料袋(35.94%)。大多数梗阻性肿块有轻微的放射性不透光(62.5%)。手术和非手术疗法都能有效解决窒息问题(分别为91.3%和94.44%):结论:1岁以下的动物食道颈部完全阻塞时最容易发生窒息。手术和非手术方法都能有效解决单峰骆驼的噎食问题。由于鳄鱼镊长度有限,对所有成年骆驼使用镊子拔管并不现实。
