Article Synopsis
- Peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia (PPDH) is a rare condition where there is an abnormal opening between the pericardial sac and the pleuroperitoneal membrane, potentially leading to pneumopericardium, which is gas in the pericardial sac.
- A case study detailed a dog that developed pneumopericardium and pericardial effusion following an elective ovariectomy, with both issues discovered through X-ray and ultrasound imaging.
- Surgery was performed to address the congenital defect, successfully resolving the PPDH and the pneumopericardium.
