[The topography of the cecum and proximal loop of the colon in cattle with cecal dilatation].
The topography of the cecum and the proximal loop of the colon was studied in 32 cattle of different german breeds, female gender and different age (5.2 +/- 2.0 years), which were surgically treated for cecal dilatation in the Medical and Forensic Veterinary Clinic II of the Justus-Liebig-University in Giessen. In 13 cases (41%) dilatation and dislocation--without or with torsion (along a longitudinal axis, round to the left)--of the cecum, with dilatation of the proximal loop of the colon was diagnosed. In 3 cases (9%) dilatation, dislocation and torsion (along a longitudinal axis, round to the left) of the cecum without dilatation of the proximal loop was found. In 6 cases (19%) dilatation and dislocation of the cecum with dilatation, dislocation and torsion of the proximal loop of the colon (along a longitudinal axis) to the left, and in 10 cases (31%) dilatation and dislocation of the cecum with dilatation, dislocation and torsion of the proximal loop of the colon (along a longitudinal axis) to the right, was observed. By lining up single findings, models are presented how torsion of the cecum to the left, and torsion of the proximal loop of the colon to the left or to the right may develop.
