Abstract
Four cases of caecocolic intussusception are described. Two horses (ca se 1 and 4) were peroperatively euthanised for different reasons. The two others were treated by ileocolostomy. Case 2 was followed over a p eriod of more than one year and made a full recovery. Case 3 was eutha nised during reoperation 1,5 month after the first intervention. A str agulation of the jejunum through a mesenteric rent and postoperative a dhesions were diagnosed. The clinical signs of ileocaecal intussuscept ion and the technique for ileocolonic anastomosis are described.
