“…However, in this case, the questions above did not befall according her. Although there are various suspicion about the causes of hemimelia, some authors state that its etiology is unknown (Macrí et al, 2009;Pisoni et al, 2012;Peres et al, 2013;Macrí et al, 2014), including in humans (Riaz et al, 2016). In this case, the presence of consanguinity, as reported by the owner, can be considered as a possible cause of dysostosis, in accordance with Prats (2005).…”

“…Hemimelia is a rare dysostosis found in animals; the radius is the most affected bone in cats and dogs (Towle;Breur, 2012). Thus, radial hemimelia is the most reported form when talking about cats and dogs (Alam et al, 2006;Pisoni et al, 2012;Peres et al, 2013). As consequence, it is rare to find descriptions involving the other types of the pathology.…”

-Hemimelia is a rare congenital anomaly, characterized by the absence of a part or the whole distal segment of a body member. It is usually unilateral and is classified according to the affected bone segments. In the transverse terminal hemimelia, there is the absence of the whole distal part of a body member, what is defined as congenital amputation. Several studies about cats and dogs concluded that radial hemimelia is the most usual. However, other types of this anomaly are rarely observed in dogs. Therefore, the aim of this study is to report a case of transverse terminal humeral bilateral hemimelia in a mixed-breed dog. In the physical exam was observed a bilateral malformation of the thoracic members. The radiographs revealed the presence of a well-developed scapula, humeral vestiges and the absence of other appendicular segments on the right and left antimeres, what made the hemimelia diagnosis possible. Consanguinity was the probable cause of the anomaly. Because of the scarcity of scientific reports about this pathology in dogs, further studies are needed to investigate the here observed.Keywords: canids; congenital amputation; bones.RESUMO -Hemimelia é uma rara anomalia congênita caracterizada pela ausência de parte ou todo o segmento distal de um membro, de ocorrência geralmente unilateral e classificada de acordo com os segmentos ósseos afetados. Na hemimelia transversa terminal toda a porção distal de um membro está ausente, sendo definida como amputação congênita. Diversos estudos em cães e gatos reportam a hemimelia radial, sendo esta a forma mais frequente. Não obstante, raras são as abordagens em cães acerca das demais apresentações da hemimelia. Assim, este estudo objetiva relatar um caso de hemimelia transversa terminal umeral bilateral em um cão mestiço. No exame físico, observou-se má formação dos membros torácicos. As imagens radiográficas revelaram nos antímeros direito e esquerdo a presença de escápula desenvolvida, resquícios umerais e ausência dos demais segmentos apendiculares, permitindo assim o diagnóstico de hemimelia. Como causa provável constou apenas o fator de consanguinidade. Devido escassez de abordagens científicas acerca deste tipo de patologia em cães, demais estudos são necessários para investigar o aqui observado. Palavras-

A case of a unilateral forelimb congenital defect in a three-month-old female puppy dog with clinical and radiographic findings is described here. Congenital absence of humerus with preaxial terminal longitudinal hemimelia is a rare condition in human and animal species. Although similar congenital limb deformities in dogs have previously been documented, the present case is, to the authors' knowledge, the first report of this type of forelimb hemimelia in a dog, and represents an addition to the scant literature on this topic.

“…Congenital hiatal hernia, as other congenital malformations (Pisoni et al 2012;Tremolada et al 2013) is an uncommon abnormality in dogs and rare in cats, but various reports are available in the literature (Gaskell et al 1974;Teunissen et al 1978;Peterson 1983;Ellison et al 1987;Miles et al 1988;Prymak et al 1989;Bright et al 1990;Williams 1990;Brinkley 1990;White 1993;Callan et al 1993;Auger and Riley1997;Hardie et al 1998;Lorinson and Bright 1998;Sivacolundhu et al 2002;Rahal et al 2003;Kirkby et al 2005;Owen et al 2005;Ardnt et al 2006;Baig et al 2006;Keeley et al 2008;DeSandre-Robinson et al 2011), most of which are congenital, such as, apparently, the case described in the present report. Despite the several cases reported, the pathogenesis is not completely understood and, similarly, the therapeutic protocol has not been standardised.…”

A case of surgical resolution of type I or "sliding" hiatal hernia is reported. A seven-month-old kitten was presented because of abdominal discomfort, accelerated breathing after eating and chronic vomiting. The clinical examination was unremarkable. Thoracic radiographs and gastroscopy led to the diagnosis of type I hiatal hernia. The surgical resolution consisted of hiatal plication, oesophagopexy and left-flank incisional gastropexy. All procedures were carried out using a 6 mm videoendoscope positioned in the stomach to evaluate the right oesophago-gastric junction reduction. One week after surgery there was a recurrence of symptoms and a second laparotomy was performed. During the second surgery additional hiatal plication was necessary and an oesophagopexy was repeated after dissection of the phrenico-oesophageal ligament. Moreover, a new incisional gastropexy was carried out after resolution of the first one. The cat recovered without complications and at oneyear follow-up did show no signs related to the hiatal hernia. This communication reports on possible additional surgical techniques in cases of type I hiatal hernia and contributes to an understanding of the importance of oesophagopexy in cases of hiatus malformation.
