Ultrasonographic Signs of Intestinal Intussusception Associated With Acute Enteritis or Gastroenteritis in 19 Young Dogs

From the Department of Clinical Sciences (Patsikas, Moustardas, Papazoglou, Kazakos, Dessiris), School of Veterinary Medicine, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 11 Stavrou Voutyra Street, 546 27, Thessaloniki, Greece and Veterinary Practice (Jakovljevic), 4 Butterfield Lane, St. Albans, Hertfordshire, AL1 2HJ, England, United Kingdom.

The ultrasonographic pattern of intestinal intussusception was studied in 19 young dogs with acute enteritis or gastroenteritis. The intussusception was observed to be a target-like mass consisting of a hyperechoic or anechoic center surrounded by multiple hyperechoic and hypoechoic concentric rings in transverse sections. In longitudinal sections, the intussusception appeared as multiple hyperechoic and hypoechoic parallel lines, as a tumor-like or pseudokidney mass, and as a trident-like configuration. Ultrasonography may provide a sensitive, specific, and accurate method of diagnosing intestinal intussusception in young dogs.
