During a 3-year period, cecal impaction was diagnosed in 21 horses (mean age, 8 years) at exploratory celiotomy or necropsy. In 7 horses, typhlotomy was used to remove the impaction; 2 horses treated by fluid injection of the impaction did not survive. The 12 other horses had cecal rupture. Surgical correction was not possible in those horses because of inaccessibility of the rupture site. Postmortem examination of the rupture sites did not reveal a cause other than cecal impaction. The duration of clinical signs before rupture ranged from 4 to 96 hours.
在3年期间，通过剖腹探查术或尸检诊断出21匹马（平均年龄8岁）患有盲肠阻塞。7匹马通过盲肠切开术清除阻塞物；2匹接受阻塞物液体注射治疗的马未能存活。其他12匹马发生了盲肠破裂。由于破裂部位难以触及，这些马无法进行手术矫正。对破裂部位的尸检未发现除盲肠阻塞以外的其他原因。破裂前临床症状的持续时间为4至96小时。
