Abstract

Background: Uroperitoneum is a typical disease of the newborn foal, which occurs rarely but regularly. Ultrasonography is considered the most important imaging method for diagnosing this disease. Thus far, only one older case series comprising 31 foals suffering from uroperitoneum has systematically listed results of ultrasound examinations.

Objective: This paper presents the findings of an ultrasonographic examination of 34 foals with uroperitoneum in order to inform future interpretation of ultrasonographic data in suspected uroperitoneum cases.

Method: Ultrasonographic data of 34 neonatal foals up to the age of 14 days diagnosed with uroperitoneum between 2006 and 2022 were analysed.

Results: Most foals demonstrated highly increased levels of free (97%), anechogenic (91%) fluid in the abdomen. Although the urinary bladder was frequently visible (50%), bladder wall discontinuity was only occasionally detectable (18%).

Conclusion: Transabdominal ultrasonography has proved to be a very reliable imaging method for diagnosing suspected uroperitoneum. It is recommended that it be used in every case of suspected uroperitoneum in order to exclude differential diagnoses.

34 只患有尿崩症的新生马驹的超声波检查结果。

背景：尿崩症是新生马驹的一种典型疾病，很少发生，但经常发生。超声波检查被认为是诊断这种疾病最重要的成像方法。迄今为止，只有一个较早的病例系列系统地列出了超声波检查的结果，其中包括 31 匹患有尿道腹膜炎的马驹：本文介绍了对 34 只患有尿路腹膜炎的马驹进行超声波检查的结果，以便为今后解释疑似尿路腹膜炎病例的超声波数据提供参考：方法：分析了2006年至2022年期间被诊断患有尿路腹膜炎的34匹14天以内的新生小马驹的超声波检查数据：结果：大多数小马驹的腹腔内游离液（97%）和无水肿液（91%）的含量都很高。虽然膀胱经常可见（50%），但膀胱壁的不连续性偶尔才能检测到（18%）：结论：事实证明，经腹超声波检查是诊断疑似尿腹症的一种非常可靠的成像方法。结论：经腹部超声波检查已被证明是诊断疑似泌尿系腹膜炎的非常可靠的成像方法，建议在每例疑似泌尿系腹膜炎病例中使用该方法，以排除鉴别诊断。

期刊介绍： Veterinary Medicine and Science is the peer-reviewed journal for rapid dissemination of research in all areas of veterinary medicine and science. The journal aims to serve the research community by providing a vehicle for authors wishing to publish interesting and high quality work in both fundamental and clinical veterinary medicine and science. Veterinary Medicine and Science publishes original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and research methods papers, along with invited editorials and commentaries. Original research papers must report well-conducted research with conclusions supported by the data presented in the paper. We aim to be a truly global forum for high-quality research in veterinary medicine and science, and believe that the best research should be published and made widely accessible as quickly as possible. Veterinary Medicine and Science publishes papers submitted directly to the journal and those referred from a select group of prestigious journals published by Wiley-Blackwell. Veterinary Medicine and Science is a Wiley Open Access journal, one of a new series of peer-reviewed titles publishing quality research with speed and efficiency.
