Abstract

Umbilical hernia often occurs in young horses and may result in stercoral fistula. Among
them, enterocutaneous fistula is usually related to umbilical hernia. The objective is to
describe a case of enterocutaneous fistula in an equine. A mare, which historic was a swelling
in the umbilical scar, a few years ago, evolving with colic and leakage of intestinal contents
through the hole in the swollen area. After the physical examination, exploratory laparotomy
was recommended. There were adhesions over jejunum segment to the abdominal wall and
enterectomy followed by end-to-end enteroanastomosis were opted. After 16 days, without
complications, the animal showed signs of colic. On the 21st day the animal died. By
necropsy, adhesions involving the ileum, cecum and abdominal muscles, bowel necrosis and
abscess were found
