The present study was conducted on 101 animals suffering from thoracoabdominal disorders; out of which twenty seven animals (twenty six buffaloes and one cow) were diagnosed with diaphragmatic hernia based on clinical signs, radiography, ultrasonography, and left flank laparorumenotomy. Radiography alone confirmed diaphragmatic hernia in 18 cases (66.67%) with a sac-like structure cranial to the diaphragm. In 15 animals the sac contained metallic densities while in three cases a sac-like structure with no metallic densities was present. Ultrasonography was helpful in confirming diaphragmatic hernia in 23 cases (85.18%) and ultrasonographically reticular motility was evident at the level of 4th/5th intercostal space in all the animals. B+M mode ultrasonography was used for the first time for diagnosis of diaphragmatic hernia in bovines and the results suggested that ultrasonography was a reliable diagnostic modality for diaphragmatic hernia in bovines.
本研究对101只患有胸腹疾病的动物进行;其中27只动物(26头水牛和1头奶牛)根据临床症状、放射学检查、超声检查以及左腹肋部剖腹瘤胃切开术被诊断为膈疝。仅放射学检查就确诊18例(66.67%)膈疝,在膈上方有一个囊状结构。15只动物的囊中含有金属密度影,3例存在无金属密度影的囊状结构。超声检查有助于确诊23例(85.18%)膈疝,并且在所有动物的第4/5肋间水平超声检查可见网状蠕动。B + M模式超声检查首次用于牛膈疝的诊断,结果表明超声检查是牛膈疝可靠的诊断方法。
