An oesophageal impaction, consisting of plant material and nylon fishing line, and alimentary parasitism were diagnosed and treated in a Canada goose. At presentation the bird was non-ambulatory with flaccid neck muscles, lethargic, emaciated, dehydrated and had watery brown to green faeces. Palpation of the neck revealed a solid tubular mass ventrally in the mid-cervical region with gritty material cranial to it. Radiographs disclosed an oesophageal mass containing seed or grit-like radio-opaque material, and dilated cranial oesophagus containing radio-opaque material. Laboratory investigations revealed non-regenerative anaemia, heterophilia, lymphopenia, hypoproteinaemia, and many strongyle eggs in faeces. Treatment included supportive therapy, oesophageal gavage, oesophagotomy and drug therapy. The bird recovered and was released 27 days after initial presentation.

We experienced anesthetic management of open reduction for a femoral neck fracture in a patient com- plicated with fat embolism syndrome. An 83-year-old woman with a femoral neck fracture was admitted to our hospital after suffering an injury. She developed hypoxemia on admission. Chest X-ray showed a decrease in permeability of the right lung and chest CT scan showed ground glass opacities of the right lung. A blood test showed anemia, thrombocytopenia, and elevation of C-reactive protein. She was diagnosed with fat embolism syndrome using the classification of Tsuruta. Oxygen was administered. C-reactive protein decreased gradually after hospitalization. Echocardiog- raphy showed normal left ventricular function without pulmonary hypertension. She was scheduled for open reduction for the femoral neck fractu-e with artificial grit insertion under general anesthesia 6 days after hospitalization. Her operation was performed with- out exacerbation of the fat embolism syndrome. She was extubated in the operating room, and was dis- charged from the recovery room without any conpli- cations. After surgery, chest X-ray showed further improvement and she was transferred to a rehabilita- tion hospital on the 27th hospital day.
