Abstract

Congenitial sliding, oesophageal or type I hiatal hernia was diagnosed in a five-month-old pug puppy presented for evaluation of dyspnoea post feeding. The diagnosis was confirmed using plain film radiography. Surgical reduction of the hernia followed by plication of the oesophageal hiatus, oesophagopexy and left flank gastropexy permitted restoration of normal function. At 12 months of age, the dog was asymptomatic. This article describes the diagnosis and treatment of a congenital type 1 oesophageal hiatal herniation with unusual clinical presentation.ABSTRACT FROM AUTHORCopyright of Irish Veterinary Journal is the property of IFP Media, Ltd. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.
