Abstract
This paper describes the latest results of research in the areas of etiopathogenesis and treatment of cecal dilatation/-dislocation (CDD) in cows. Similar etiopathogenic mechanisms of CDD and displacement of the abomasum, as has been hypothesized in the literature, were not confirmed. Spontaneous CDD is most likely the consequence of a dysfunction of the spiral colon. Bethanechol is an appropriate motility-modulating drug for medical and postsurgical treatment of spontaneous CDD.
