title: SMALL INTESTINAL INTRAMURAL HEMATOMA SECONDARY TO A MIGRATING WIRE FOREIGN BODY IN A DOG.
abstract: A 12-year-old spayed female Labrador retriever was presented for a 5-day history of vomiting and inappetence. Radiographic findings included poor peritoneal serosal contrast, segmental small intestinal dilation, and multiple linear, metal opaque, intestinal and peritoneal wire foreign bodies. Sonographic findings included septated, hypoechoic, mural expansion of the distal duodenum and jejunum; and an intramural, thin, linear hyperechogenicity with distal acoustic shadowing consistent with a foreign body. Exploratory laparotomy was performed with resection of the affected distal duodenum and proximal jejunum. Histopathology of the excised segment confirmed an intramural hematoma. This case represents an uncommon complication of migrating wire foreign bodies.
