History, breed, age, sex, duration of obstruction and clinical signs were recorded. The diagnosis was established using examination with a stomach tube, oesophageal radiography and endoscopy. Choke was managed either by using alligator forceps guided endoscope or by cervical oesophagotomy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Choke was recorded in camels less than 1 year old (84.38%) more than camels more than 1 year of age (15.62%) and complete obstruction more than partial. Most cases had obstruction involving the cervical oesophagus (96.87%). In the majority of obstructive masses, there were pieces of fabric (48.44%) and plastic bags (35.94%). Most obstructive masses were slightly radio\u2010opaque (62.5%). Surgical and non\u2010surgical managements were effective (91.3% and 94.44%, respectively) in resolving the choke.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Choke was most likely in animals less than 1 year of age with complete obstruction of the cervical oesophagus. Surgical and non\u2010surgical methods were effective in resolving the choke in the dromedary camels. It was not practical to use forceps extraction in all adult camels due to the limited length of the alligator forceps.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/vro2.53","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,26]],"date-time":"2022-12-26T02:33:45Z","timestamp":1672022025000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A retrospective study of choke (oesophageal obstruction) in 64 one\u2010hump Dromedary camels (\n                    <i>Camelus dromedarius<\/i>\n                    ) in Saudi Arabia"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7851-6280","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohamed K.","family":"Zabady","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences College of Veterinary Medicine King Faisal University  Al\u2010Ahsa Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Department of Surgery Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Cairo University  Giza Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Turke","family":"Shawaf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences College of Veterinary Medicine King Faisal University  Al\u2010Ahsa Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1201\/b15179-11"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1939-1676.2010.0573.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","first-page":"20","article-title":"Esophageal obstruction in young camel calves (Camelus dromedarius)","volume":"41","author":"Ahmed A","year":"2011","journal-title":"Res J Vet Sci"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3906\/vet-1410-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-323-62463-3.00013-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","first-page":"66","volume-title":"Alimentary disorders.
