Ten cases of migrating vegetal foreign bodies (vFBs) requiring surgical removal are reported. The diagnoses of vFBs in the thoracic cavity (4\/10), retroperitoneal space (2\/10), and paratracheal region (1\/10) were obtained by ultrasound examination; however, in the perineum or penile urethra (2\/10) and peritoneum (1\/10), the vFBs were found during surgery. Intraoperative ultrasound guidance helped remove vFBs from the retroperitoneal space and paratracheal tissues. Clinical signs resolved in 8 out of 10 cases, 1 out of 10 cases had recurrent draining fistula, and 1 out of 10 was euthanized for ethical reasons. The intrathoracic was the most common location in the present study, followed by retroperitoneal space and urethra\/perineum. Ultrasound guidance was essential for the diagnosis and\/or treatment of vFBs located in the thoracic, retroperitoneal, and cervical regions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5326\/jaaha-ms-6913","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,21]],"date-time":"2019-08-21T09:44:19Z","timestamp":1566380659000},"page":"249-255","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Deep Vegetal Foreign Bodies in Cats: A Retrospective Study of 10 Cases"],"prefix":"10.5326","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Veronica","family":"Cola","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy (V.C., S.D-M., S.Z., A.F., G.S., O.C., L.P., S.V.); and Department of Veterinary Sciences, University of Turin, Turin, Italy (P.B.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Del Magno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy (V.C., S.D-M., S.Z., A.F., G.S., O.C., L.P., S.V.); and Department of Veterinary Sciences, University of Turin, Turin, Italy (P.B.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simona","family":"Valentini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy (V.C., S.D-M., S.Z., A.F., G.S., O.C., L.P., S.V.); and Department of Veterinary Sciences, University of Turin, Turin, Italy (P.B.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefano","family":"Zanardi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy (V.C., S.D-M., S.Z., A.F., G.S., O.C., L.P., S.V.); and Department of Veterinary Sciences, University of Turin, Turin, Italy (P.B.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Armando","family":"Foglia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy (V.C., S.D-M., S.Z., A.F., G.S., O.C., L.P., S.V.); and Department of Veterinary Sciences, University of Turin, Turin, Italy (P.B.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Spinella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy (V.C., S.D-M., S.Z., A.F., G.S., O.C., L.P., S.V.); and Department of Veterinary Sciences, University of Turin, Turin, Italy (P.B.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ombretta","family":"Capitani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy (V.C., S.D-M., S.Z., A.F., G.S., O.C., L.P., S.V.); and Department of Veterinary Sciences, University of Turin, Turin, Italy (P.B.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paolo","family":"Buracco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy (V.C., S.D-M., S.Z., A.F., G.S., O.C., L.P., S.V.); and Department of Veterinary Sciences, University of Turin, Turin, Italy (P.B.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luciano","family":"Pisoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy (V.C., S.D-M., S.Z., A.F., G.S., O.C., L.P., S.V.); and Department of Veterinary Sciences, University of Turin, Turin, Italy (P.B.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3280","reference":[{"issue":"11","key":"bib1","series-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc","first-page":"1201","article-title":"Grass awn migration in dogs and cats: A retrospective study of 182 cases","volume":"182","author":"Brennan\n              KE","year":"1983","unstructured":"Brennan\n              KE\n            , IhrkePJ.
