A coliky and depressed four year old Arabian mare was examined three days after replacement of a rectal prolapse that had occurred during parturition. Fresh blood was present in the rectum and a septic peritonitis was diagnosed based upon the clinical pathological examination of the peritoneal fluid. At laparotomy the terminal 1.3 meters of small colon was found to be necrotic as a result of rupture of the terminal mesocolon and associated blood vessels. Based upon the poor prognosis the mare was euthanized. Rupture of the mesocolon was thought to be a sequel to the rectal prolapse. The anatomy predisposing the horse to these events is discussed.
一匹患有绞痛且精神沉郁的4岁阿拉伯母马，在分娩时发生直肠脱垂并进行复位三天后接受检查。直肠内有新鲜血液，根据腹腔积液的临床病理检查诊断为败血性腹膜炎。剖腹探查时发现，由于结肠系膜末端及其相关血管破裂，导致小肠结肠末端1.3米坏死。鉴于预后不良，对该母马实施了安乐死。结肠系膜破裂被认为是直肠脱垂的后遗症。文中讨论了使马匹易发生这些情况的解剖学因素。
