Extrahepatic biliary obstruction secondary to traumatic diaphragmatic hernia in dog

초록

A 3-year-old intact mixed hunting dog was referred to Gyeongsang Animal Medical Center with the clinical signs of vomiting, dyspnea, anorexia. The dogs had traumatic history that wounded at abdominal wall during the wild boar hunting 2 week ago. The dogs was diagnosed as extrahepatic biliary tract obstruction (EHBO) secondary to traumatic hernia. Diagnosis was based on radiographic features of a diaphragmatic hernia on survey radiography, dilated bile duct in abdominal ultrasonography and complete recovery due to the return of displaced organs into the peritoneal cavity and repair of the diaphragmatic rent. Diagnostic imaging and surgical intervention may result in a favorable outcome in dog with post hepatic obstruction secondary to diaphragmatic hernia. This case emphasizes the strangulation of bile duct by diaphragmatic rupture could be the cause of EHBO. ? 2014, Korean Society of Veterinary Clinics. All rights reserved.
