Diaphragmatic defects in cats are common and most frequently occur as a result of trauma. Congenital diaphragmatic defects include peritoneopericardial hernias, hiatal hernias and, infrequently, true diaphragmatic, or pleuroperitoneal, hernias. Only three reports of feline pleuroperitoneal hernias could be found in the veterinary literature. All of these cats presented for evaluation of respiratory distress and two were managed successfully with surgery. This report describes the incidental diagnosis and successfully surgical treatment of a pleuroperitoneal hernia in a cat. It highlights the fact that pleuroperitoneal hernias may not always be symptomatic and that they may not be as rare as previously considered.

In this case, porcine small intestinal submucosa (pSIS) was used to repair a large congenital diaphragmatic hernia in a kitten. The pSIS was moistened in saline, folded in half, and sutured to the remnant of the right hemidiaphragm. The animal was determined to be doing well clinically and radiographically 12 wk after procedure.

Introduction: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a failure of closure of the pleuro-peritoneal canal due to faulty embryogenesis caused herniation of intra-abdominal contents into the chest. There needs to be more clarity about the optimal surgical timing for CDH. The aim of this study is to determine the optimal surgical timing for CDH using a systematic review analysis.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare surgical cause of respiratory distress in neonates. CDH is caused by the protrusion of the abdominal contents into the thoracic cavity due to the failure of the pleuroperitoneal canal to close by eight weeks of gestation. We present the case of a full-term, female child, weighing 2.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a congenital malformation characterized by failure of diaphragm closure during embryonic development, leading to pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension, which contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality. The occurrence of CDH and pulmonary hypoplasia is theorized to result from both abnormalities in signaling pathways of smooth muscle cells in pleuroperitoneal folds and mechanical compression by abdominal organs within the chest cavity on the developing lungs. Although, the precise etiology of diaphragm maldevelopment in CDH is not fully understood, it is believed that interplay between genes and the environment contributes to its onset.
