Abstract

Case summary: An 11-year-old female spayed Burmese cat was presented for chronic intermittent vomiting. Previous medical and dietary treatments were unsuccessful. Endoscopically, a narrow pyloric outlet was found and Y-U pyloroplasty was performed. The clinical signs disappeared postoperatively after treatment with a proton pump inhibitor and dietary management. Relevance and novel information: This is the first case report of feline-acquired pyloric stenosis with documented histopathological findings from a full-thickness biopsy of the pyloric sphincter. In addition, this is the first case of Y-U pyloroplasty being conducted in a cat. The histopathological findings might help explain the pathogenesis of this disorder in cats.
