Ultrasonogram, spleen and colon, left dorsal displacement, horse

Ultrasonographic images obtained from the left abdomen in a horse. A. The colon is visualized medial to the spleen, obscuring the left kidney, consistent with nephrosplenic entrapment. B. In this window, the colon is against the body wall, preventing visualization of both the spleen and the left kidney, as is typical of left dorsal colon displacement.
