Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 10-year-old male serval was examined for treatment of a self-inflicted perineal wound that obliterated the ventral anocutaneous junction, penis, scrotum, testicles, and proximal portions of the caudomedial thigh muscles. Repair required placement of a caudal superficial epigastric flap and prepubic urethrostomy. Although it is generally preferable to delay repair of contaminated wounds until a healthy wound bed is established, circumstances related to wound location, affected tissues, and patient compliance led to a decision for immediate wound closure. In this serval, a history of food intolerance, recent diet change, eosinophilia, and eosinophilic granuloma-like skin lesions suggested that the self-mutilation injury was a result of food hypersensitivity, although foreign body or a spider bite could not be ruled out. |
