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.
猫的膈缺陷很常见，最常见的原因是外伤。先天性膈缺陷包括腹膜心包疝、食管裂孔疝，以及罕见的真性膈疝或胸膜腹膜疝。在兽医文献中仅能找到三篇关于猫胸膜腹膜疝的报告。所有这些猫都是因呼吸窘迫前来评估，其中两只通过手术成功治疗。本报告描述了一只猫胸膜腹膜疝的偶然诊断及成功的手术治疗。它强调了胸膜腹膜疝可能并不总是有症状的，而且可能并不像以前认为的那么罕见。
