Key Points

This report aims to discuss a rare case of abdominal pregnancy following uterine rupture in a mare.
Described the surgical repair of a ventral uterine body tear.
Highlighted the importance of post-torsion ultrasonographic monitoring for fetal viability.
Fertility preservation was achieved following surgical intervention.
Severe uterine torsion may lead to uterine rupture, necessitating careful assessment.

Implication

Case report reveals surgical repair can preserve fertility in mares with uterine rupture, indicating careful monitoring is crucial.

Abstract

• Ventral uterine body tear resulting in abdominal pregnancy is rare. • Fertility may be preserved with surgical repair of the uterine tear. • Post-torsion ultrasonographic monitoring is essential to assess fetal viability. • Uterine torsion severity may lead to uterine rupture. • Uterine tear can be caused by fetal hyperactivity.
