“…There are reports of conservative management; however, patients were eventually euthanized for severe episodes of colic rather than respiratory signs [9,10]. Forms of surgical approach that have been described for diaphragmatic hernia repair include a cranioventral midline incision, lateral thoracotomy through rib resection, flank approach, and thoracoscopy [9,11].…”

“…O tempo de evolução, desde a ruptura diafragmática até o início dos sinais clínicos é muito variável, com duração de poucas horas e até mesmo anos (KELMER; KRAMER; WILSON, 2008;ROELVINK;SLOET van OLDRUITENBORGH-OOSTERBAAN;CALSBEEK, 1993). O exame histopatológico do anel herniário revelou um extenso foco de tecido fibroso e pouca celularidade demonstrando a cronicidade da hérnia.…”

ResumoA hérnia diafragmática é uma causa rara de cólica em equinos, podendo ser de origem congênita ou adquirida. Comumente, o intestino encontra-se envolvido nos casos de hérnia diafragmática, sendo que o quadro clínico está relacionado ao segmento intestinal envolvido e a extensão da obstrução intestinal, podendo ocorrer desde uma obstrução simples até um processo estrangulante. Frequentemente, os sinais clínicos se caracterizam por desconforto abdominal agudo de intensidade grave, dispneia e/ ou taquipneia. O diagnóstico de hérnia diafragmática pode ser difícil, e na maioria das vezes só é estabelecido durante o procedimento cirúrgico ou na necropsia. O presente trabalho relata a ocorrência de uma hérnia diafragmática em um garanhão, quarto de milha de 14 anos de idade apresentando sinais de desconforto abdominal agudo. O exame físico revelou taquicardia, taquipneia e ausência de motilidade intestinal. A análise do líquido peritoneal mostrou turbidez, aumento de leucócitos e aumento de proteína. O equino foi submetido à laparotomia exploratória, mas devido à presença de mesentério hemorrágico, isquemia intestinal e encarceramento irredutível do jejuno em forâmen epiplóico, decidiuse pela eutanásia. Além destes achados, na necropsia, foi observada uma hérnia diafragmática com presença de intestino delgado no tórax. Palavras-chave: Hérnia diafragmática, equino, cólica AbstractThe diaphragmatic hernia is a rare cause of colic in equine and may be congenital or acquired. The intestine is commonly involved in cases of diaphragmatic hernia, and clinical signs are related to the intestinal segment involved and the extension, obstruction may occur from a simple process to a strangulating. Often, clinical signs are characterized by acute abdominal whit severe pain, dyspnea and tachypnea. The diagnosis of diaphragmatic hernia can be difficult, and in most cases only is established during surgery or at necropsy. This paper reports a diaphragmatic hernia case in a quarter horse stallion, with 14 years of age showing acute abdominal signs. The clinical examination showed tachycardia, tachypnea and absence of intestinal motility. Turbidity, increase of leukocytes and protein was observed

“…Both acquired and congenital hernias have been reported (Speirs and Reynolds 1976; Collobert et al . 1988; Proudman and Edwards 1992; Roelvink et al . 1993; Cheetham 1998; Dabareiner and White 1999); however, the majority of cases are acquired and traumatic in origin (Santschi et al .…”

Summary A case of a neonatal foal with acute colic and respiratory distress is described. The foal presented with signs of acute colic and was treated medically. The foal did not respond to treatment and 2 h after admission the foal began to demonstrate signs of respiratory distress. Thoracic and abdominal radiographs were obtained and a diagnosis of a diaphragmatic hernia was made. Surgical repair of the hernia was recommended but the owner declined and the foal was subjected to euthanasia. Post mortem findings confirmed the diagnosis and revealed that the defect was of congenital origin. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is an unusual cause of colic in a neonatal foal.
