Abstract

A disorder of adult cattle usually referred to as 'jejunal hemorrhage syndrome' has received an increasing amount of attention during the last decade. The frequency of this condition among patients of our clinic has increased. The disease is now the most frequent cause of small intestinal ileus. Therefore, a description of the clinical findings, surgical procedures, and outcomes seemed indicated, especially since the prognosis has been described as poor in the literature.
