Ovarian Inflammation

INFLAMMATION

• Oophoritis: inflammation of the ovary. Is rare but seen in cattle secondary to ascending infection from uterus, peritonitis or reproductive tract surgery. The ovary has fibrin tags and granulation tissue and fibrous adhesions to bursa may result in tubovarian cyst formation.
• Bursitis: inflammation of the ovarian bursa.
