A clinical case of peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia in a 7-months old Persian male cat is reported. The diagnosis was established after clinical examination, blood work and radiology, being finally confirmed by ultrasonography. Approach to the defect via ventral midline cranial celiotomy was chosen. Intrapericardially localised hepatic lobes and greater omentum were repositioned by traction and annulorrhaphy was performed. No complications occurred during convalescense and good long-term prognosis was predicted. Etiology, clinical signs and diagnosis of the disease are discussed and surgical solution is described, including a short discussion of surgical risks and complications.
