Ultrassonografia e teloscopia no diagnóstico de fibrose obstrutiva do anel venoso de Fürstenberg em quatro quartos mamários em bovino: relato de caso

ABSTRACT

We report an unusual case of obstructive fibrosis of the venous ring of Fürstenberg in all four quarters of the udder of a cow of the Girolando breed (3/8 Gir and 5/8 Dutch). The information was obtained through a review of medical records, anamnesis, and imaging methods such as theloscopy and ultrasonography. Histopathological analysis provided a definitive diagnosis.
