Right Aortic Arch with Megaesophagus in a Jack Russel Dog and Diagnosis with Contrast Fluoroscopy

Abstract

The material of this case report was a 4-month-old Jack Russel female dog brought to Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Veterinary Faculty Animal Hospital with the complaint of vomiting. Anamnesis revealed that the patient had chronic vomiting, cough, and respiratory distress following food intake. As a result of examinations, it was determined that the patient had a congenital right aortic arch-type vascular ring anomaly and related megaesophagus. Treatment consisted of a surgical procedure followed by medical therapy. This case report demonstrated that fluoroscopy-guided contrast-enhanced angiography can be used to diagnose vascular ring anomaly.
