The clinical features of 58 horses presenting with recurrent colic examined over a 5 year period were reviewed. The horses were categorised into 3 groups on the basis of the history of colic episodes. Recurrent transient colic Group 1 was characterised by 3 or more episodes of transient colic (of apparently similar type) occurring within one month. Recurrent transient colic Group 2 was characterised by 3 or more episodes of transient colic occurring within one year. Recurrent prolonged colic was characterised by 3 or more episodes of prolonged colic occurring within one year. Fifteen horses were classified as recurrent transient colic Group 1. This group had the highest mortality rate 53%. They included 3 horses with lymphosarcoma, 2 with intussusceptions, 2 with thromboembolic disease/verminous arteritis and 2 with partial ileal obstructions. The recurrent transient colic Group 2 comprised 27 cases with a mortality rate of 4%. Nine of these horses were affected by spasmodic colic. The recurrent prolonged group involved 16 horses with a mortality rate of 31%. These included 3 cases of recurrent colonic impaction and 2 cases each of lymphosarcoma, 2 thromboembolic disease, 2 partial ileal obstructions and 2 intestinal adhesions.
回顾了5年期间检查的58匹复发性腹痛马的临床特征。根据腹痛发作史，将这些马分为3组。复发性短暂性腹痛第1组的特征是在1个月内发生3次或更多次短暂性腹痛（显然是相似类型）。复发性短暂性腹痛第2组的特征是在1年内发生3次或更多次短暂性腹痛。复发性持续性腹痛的特征是在1年内发生3次或更多次持续性腹痛。15匹马被归类为复发性短暂性腹痛第1组。该组死亡率最高，为53%。其中包括3例淋巴肉瘤马、2例肠套叠马、2例血栓栓塞性疾病/寄生虫性动脉炎马和2例部分回肠梗阻马。复发性短暂性腹痛第2组包括27例，死亡率为4%。其中9匹马患有痉挛性腹痛。复发性持续性腹痛组有16匹马，死亡率为31%。其中包括3例复发性结肠阻塞、2例淋巴肉瘤、2例血栓栓塞性疾病、2例部分回肠梗阻和2例肠粘连。
