Surgical resolution of the oviduct impaction using salpingohysterotomy in female scarlet macaw (Ara macao)‎ : a case report

Abstract EN

A 10-year-old female Scarlet Macaw was presented with a history of abdominal mass since one year ago.

Diagnosis revealed that the patient had a hard mass in the ventral region of the coelom.

The hard mass was removed surgically.

Histopathological findings indicate the presence of necrotic cells, inflammatory cells and fibrin deposition in a compacted mass without any specific architecture.

Thus, the findings confirm caseous materials of egg remnant.

A definitive diagnosis of Oviduct impaction was concluded due to chronic retained eggs.

Proper surgical treatment and management performed in this case had resolved and return the patient’s condition to normal.
