Resumo
Background: Aneurysm is a dilation and a weakening of the vessel, usually 2 times higher than the normal diameter of the vessel. Considering the complexity of the definitive diagnosis of iliac artery aneurysm, it is necessary to use technology by imaging, aiming an early diagnosis. Thus, application of Doppler ultrasound allows the study of the horses vascular system allowing various types of diagnoses among these members and vascularization for diagnosing thrombi in the abdominal aorta and mesenteric arteries in side verminotic aneurysm. The aim of this study was to describe the occurrence of two cases of aneurysm involving the aortic-iliac diagnosed by Doppler ultrasound. Cases: The study describes two cases of the aneurism in horses diagnosed by Doppler ultrasound at the Veterinary Hospital of UPIS. The animals showed clinical signs of edema in the pelvic limb, with varied degree of lameness 3 to 4, pain and wound did not heal and septic arthritis. The final diagnosis was obtained by Doppler ultrasound. In case one, Doppler ultrasound analysis indicated high arterial distension and blood flow disorganized, suggesting aneurysm. The patient did not respond adequately to therapy and due to the severity of these changes, the euthanasia was performed for definitive diagnostic. On the other hand, in case two, in the imaging examination, it was diagnosed with a dilated aortic [...](AU)
