Occurrences of esophageal foreign bodies are common in camels. Esophageal obstruction in camels due to bezoars is rare.
This report describes esophageal obstruction in camel due to trichobezoar. A 2-year-old she-camel presented with a history of inability to swallow and there was food and water regurgitation for one day before. Radiography and endoscopic examination revealed an oval-shaped foreign body embedded in the esophageal lumen in the level distal third of the neck. The foreign body was successfully removed using cervical esophagotomy under general anesthesia. Successful esophagostomy revealed trichobezoar weighing 45 g and measuring 85 mm × 75 mm × 42 mm. The trichobezoar removed from the esophagus was the cause of esophageal obstruction.
Esophageal obstruction in camel could be due to trichobezoar. Radiography and endoscopy are valuable diagnostic methods to determine the position and nature of an obstructive object.
食入异物在骆驼中很常见。由于胃石导致的骆驼食管阻塞则较为少见。
本报告描述了因毛球导致的骆驼食管阻塞。一只 2 岁的母骆驼出现无法吞咽的症状，并在就诊前一天开始出现食物和水反流。放射学和内镜检查显示在颈部远端第三处食管腔内有一个椭圆形的异物。在全身麻醉下通过颈段食管切开术成功取出了异物。成功的食管造口术显示出重 45 克、长 85 毫米×宽 75 毫米×高 42 毫米的毛球。从食管中取出的毛球是导致食管阻塞的原因。
骆驼的食管阻塞可能是由于毛球导致的。放射学和内镜检查是确定阻塞物位置和性质的有价值的诊断方法。
