Abstract
Traumatic reticuloperitonitis (TRP) is an economically important disease affecting mostly
cattle. The disease is caused by accidental ingestion of sharp foreign bodies. The signs of this disease depend on the site of reticular perforation and lesions caused by further
migration of the foreign body. Some of the usual sequelae of TRP are peritonitis (acute, chronic, local or diffuse), pericarditis and diaphragmatic hernia while hepatic abscess, splenic abscess, pleurisy etc. are less common. Rupture of left gastro-epiploic artery and abscess, rupturing, discharging the foreign body to the exterior are rare and unusual (Roth and King, 1991; Radostits et al., 1994). Two cases in which the foreign bodies
were discharged to the exterior are reported here.
