==Description==

Left dorsal displacement, or nephrosplenic entrapment, is a frequent cause of [[Category:Colic in Horses|colic]], where the left dorsal and ventral colon become displaced, and then trapped by the [[spleen]] laterally, the [[kidney]] medially, and the [[nephrosplenic ligament]] ventrally. Entrapment over the nephrosplenic ligament results in simple obstruction of the colon, usually without vascular compromise. The exact cause is unknown but it is thought that changes in the ingesta, gas content and motor activity of the colon are important factors.
