Canine Radiology Report: Abnormal Findings

A veterinary report describes radiology test results for a 9-year old female German Shepherd named Aza. The report identifies an enlarged spleen and the presence of two populations of small intestine with one distended and the other empty, potentially indicating mechanical obstruction, ileus, or enteritis. Additional information provides differential diagnoses and recommends follow up diagnostics like ultrasound or contrast studies to determine a definitive diagnosis. Radiology images show the prominent spleen and the two distinct small intestine appearances.

Additional Information

Prominent Spleen: Changes observed within the tail or body of the spleen on the lateral view, including enlargement
in size, rounded margins, or irregular margins, will trigger an abnormal test for splenomegaly. Abdominal ultrasound
should be considered to determine a definitive diagnosis if indicated from clinical signs, medical history, and physical
exam findings. Differential diagnoses for splenomegaly include splenic neoplasia, splenic congestion, breed variant,
and other causes.
DDx: Splenic neoplasia, splenic congestion, breed variant, other
Two Populations of Small Intestine: An abnormal test indicates that there is distension of a portion of small intestine
with a concurrent population of small intestine that is empty or not distended. Differential diagnoses include
mechanical obstruction, functional ileus, enteritis, or other causes. Clinical signs, physical exam findings, patient
status along with radiographic signs should aid in determining which additional diagnostics should be performed.
Additional diagnostics may include follow up radiographs, UGI contrast study, or abdominal ultrasound.
DDx: Mechanical obstruction, ileus-functional, enteritis, other
