Peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia in a immature dog
1999
Yeon, S.C. (Seoul National University, Suwon (Korea Republic). College of Veterinary Medicine)
A 5-month-old, 5kg, intact male mixed dog was admitted to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of the College of Veterinary Medicine Cornell University because of severe systolic murmur. On physical examination, the dog appeared to be thin and slightly small for his age. Radiographic studies with barium sulfate clearly showed the presence of loops of intestines in the pericardium. Based on these findings peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia was diagnosed. Many abnormalities were found in dog's heart: ventricular septal defect, pulmonic stenosis with moderate pulmonic value insufficiency, and mild mitral and tricuspid valve insufficiency. Puppy's longterm prognosis was fair. His interstines were removed from his pericardium and the defect in his deaphragm was closed. The surgery went smoothly and puppy recovered very nicely from anesthesia.
