Resumen
Resumen: La reticulopericarditis traumática es una enfermedad que puede afectar, severamente,
a los bovinos, al producir efectos importantes como reducción en su rendimiento general
y descarte temprano. La ingestión de cuerpos extraños punzocortantes, causantes de una
reticuloperitonitis, en primera instancia, es el factor primario, mientras que las contracciones
ruminales y la presión del útero grávido son factores favorecedores. Se describe, en este trabajo,
los aspectos clínicos y hallazgos post mortem de un caso de reticulopericarditis, de un Bos
indicus, macho, de ocho años. Se hace especial énfasis en el abordaje clínico y los hallazgos
ultrasonográficos a nivel de cavidad abdominal y cavidad torácica. Mediante el diagnóstico
clínico y el apoyo de las imágenes, se evidenció una pericarditis séptica. Dada la condición del
animal, se procedió al sacrifico. Se reporta, entonces, las alteraciones orgánicas macroscópicas y
microscópicas producidas por la enfermedad.
Traumatic reticuloperitonitis is a disease that can severely affect cattle by producing important chronic effects leading to decreased productive performance and early culling. The ingestion of sharp objects, which can cause reticuloperitonitis as a primary cause, is the primary factor. Conditions such as ruminal contractions and the pressure of the gravid uterus may favor the disease. This paper describes clinical aspects and post-mortem findings of a case of reticuloperitonitis in an eight-year old Bos indicus male. Special emphasis is made on the clinical approach and the ultrasound findings of the abdominal and thoracic cavities. As a result of the clinical diagnosis supported with ultrasound images, a septic pericarditis was evidenced. Given its condition, the animal was sacrificed. Consequently, macroscopic and microscopic organic alterations caused by the disease are reported in the paper.
