The ultrasonographic findings for four cats with intestinal smooth muscle hypertrophy are described. In two cats, intestinal smooth muscle hypertrophy was associated with chronic enteritis. In the remaining two cats, intestinal smooth muscle hypertrophy affected the intestinal tract proximal to stenosis due to alimentary lymphoma and an intestinal foreign body, respectively. Moderate increased thickness of the affected intestinal wall, measuring 7-8 mm, was evident on abdominal ultrasonographic examination of all subjects. In addition, the ultrasonographic five-layered feature of the intestinal wall was maintained, and only the muscular layer appeared thickened. Abdominal ultrasound allowed a presumptive diagnosis of intestinal smooth muscle hypertrophy that was confirmed histologically in all cats.
描述了四只患有肠道平滑肌肥大的猫的超声检查结果。在两只猫中，肠道平滑肌肥大与慢性肠炎有关。在其余两只猫中，肠道平滑肌肥大分别影响了因消化道淋巴瘤和肠道异物导致狭窄近端的肠道。所有受试猫的腹部超声检查均显示，受影响肠壁厚度适度增加，为7-8毫米。此外，肠壁的超声五层结构得以保留，仅肌层增厚。腹部超声可做出肠道平滑肌肥大的初步诊断，所有猫均经组织学证实。
