SÍNDROME HIPERPLÁSICA ENDOMETRIAL CÍSTICA – PIOMETRA EM CADELAS: Relato de caso

Abstract

Cystic Endometrial Hyperplastic Syndrome (CHE)/Pyometra is a hormone-mediated pathogen, very common in uncastrated, middle-aged female dogs and usually occurs in the post-estrus period, when the uterus undergoes the action of progesterone, which stimulates the growth and activity of female dogs. endometrial glands, leading to an inflammatory process in which it causes an accumulation of mucopurulent secretions in the uterine lumen. Its diagnosis is based on the clinical examination of the animal, on information collected in the anamnesis and on complementary tests such as laboratory, radiographic and ultrasonographic tests. The treatment of choice is ovariohysterectomy (OH), which must be performed quickly, to avoid associated complications such as uterine rupture, endotoxemia, sepse, and even death of the animal. The aim of this study was to follow up through a case report of the pyometra pathology, its diagnosis, treatment and factors related to the disease, highlighting its importance. It was found that the characteristics of the patient are similar to those described in the literature. She had open pyometra, with purulent discharge, distension and abdominal pain, characterizing a more frequent and less aggressive picture of the disease. The treatment chosen, OH, was carried out immediately, as recommended, as it is the most indicated because it has a lower chance of recurrence and guarantees an uneventful postoperative period. HEC/Piometra is a serious pathology that needs to be diagnosed and treated quickly, otherwise the animal can die.
