AJVS. 2018; 57(1): 121-125 Surgical Resolution of the Oviduct Impaction Using Salpingohysterotomy in Female Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao): A Case ReportAbraham G. Abdullah, Jalila Abu, Lawan Adamu, Nurul Fatihah Fozi. Abstract | | | | 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 patientÂ’s condition to normal.
Key words: Scarlet Macaw, oviduct impaction, retained eggs, salpingohysterotomy
