AI Article Synopsis
- A 10-year-old spayed Dachshund presented with coughing for a month and was initially suspected to have a right middle lung torsion based on various imaging findings.
- Upon surgery, no torsion was found, and instead, the dog was diagnosed with lobar pneumonia after histological analysis.
- The case highlights the usefulness of minimum intensity projection imaging technique for assessing bronchial structures in dogs suspected of having lung problems, such as torsion or pneumonia.
Article Abstract
A 10-year-old female spayed Dachshund was referred with progressive coughing for 1 month. The dog was tentatively diagnosed with right middle lung torsion based on pleural effusion, vesicular emphysema, abruptly ending bronchus in consolidated right middle lung, and no contrast enhancement of the affected lobe on radiography and computed tomography (CT). There was no evidence of torsion upon thoracotomy, and histological examination confirmed lobar pneumonia. The CT images were reevaluated using minimum intensity projection and revealed normal bronchial courses. The minimum intensity projection technique can be to assist in evaluation of the bronchial tree for dogs with suspected lung lobe torsion and other pulmonary diseases.
