AGENESIA UNILATERAL DE OVÁRIO, TUBA UTERINA E CORNO UTERINO EM GATA: RELATO DE CASO

Abstract

Uterine and ovarian anomalies are rare in cats, therefore this condition and concomitant absence of ovaries and uterine horn have no report in literature review. The objective of this study is to report a case of unilateral agenesis of ovary and, uterine oviduct in the cat, contributing with information related to this type of malformation. A 2 year-old mongrel cat and weighing 2,5 Kg went to a veterinary clinic showing vaginal purulent discharge for about 10 days. During surgery, the absence of ovary and uterine horn were diagnosed. The uterine affection diagnosis was made through clinical examination and complete blood count, however the malformation was not possible to be diagnosed due to lack of complementary imaging tests, what means that it increases the surgical risk for unskilled surgeon and veterinary medicine students.
