Scottish Fold ırkı bir kedide, pectus excavatumun u şekilli eksternal bir splint ile açık operatif sağaltımı
Abstract
4 aylık, 1.9 kg ağırlığında, dişi, scottish shorthair ırkı kedi, Kırıkkale Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Araştırma ve Uygulama Hastanesine progressif dispne ve egzersiz intoleransı şikayeti ile getirilmiştir. Yapılan klinik ve radyografik muayenelerde sternumun caudal kısmında dorsal deformasyon ve kalbin sol hemitoraksa yer değiştirdiği belirlenmiştir. Operasyondan önce alınan radyografik görüntüler üzerinde yapılan ölçümlerde frontosagittal index (FSI) ve vertebral index (VI) değerleri 3.5 ve 5.1 olarak ölçülmüştür. Operatif sağaltımda, sternal malpozisyonun düzeltilmesi amacıyla PVC materyalinden hazırlanan eksternal splint, sternebraların etrafından geçirilen sutür materyali ile toraksa sabitlenmiştir. Operasyon sonrası hasta 8 hafta süreyle takip edilmiştir. Operasyondan beş hafta sonra eksternal splint çıkartılmış ve alınan radyografiler üzerinde FSI ve VI değerleri 1.4 ve 11.3 olarak ölçülmüştür. Hastanın postoperatif süreçte dispne ve egzersiz intoleransı problemlerinin ortadan kalktığı görülmüştür. Bunun gibi kemik gelişiminin henüz tamamlanmadığı hayvanlarda eksternal splint uygulamasının başarılı sonuçlar verdiği belirlenmiştir.

Open surgical correction combined with an u-shaped external splint for pectus excavatum in a Scottish fold cat
Abstract
A 4 month-old, 1.9 kg, female, Scottish fold cat was brought to Kırıkkale University Veterinary Faculty Research and Practice Hospital with complaints of progressive dyspnea and exercise intolerance. Dorsal deformation in the caudal part of the sternum and displacement of the heart into the left hemithorax were determined in the clinical and radiographic examinations. In the measurements made on the radiographic images taken before the operation, the frontosagittal index (FSI) and vertebral index (VI) values were measured as 3.5 and 5.1, respectively. An external splint made of PVC material is fixed to the thorax with suture material passed around the sternebrae, in order to correct the sternal malposition in intraoperative treatment. The patient was followed for 8 weeks after the operation. The external splint was removed five weeks after the operation, and the FSI and VI values were measured as 1.4 and 11.3 on the radiographs, respectively. In the postoperative period, it was observed that the patient’s problems such as dyspnea and exercise intolerance disappeared. In animals with bone development yet to be completed, it has been determined that external splint application gives successful results.
