A seven-year-old male Jack Russell terrier was presented with a history of coughing, generalised weakness and lethargy 10 days after an abdominal coeliotomy to repair a large diaphragmatic rupture. Thoracic radiographs demonstrated a soft tissue mass in the midcaudal right thoracic cavity. Ultrasonographic studies, bronchoscopy and subsequent exploratory thoracotomy confirmed a diagnosis of a right cranial lung lobe torsion (LLT), with an anomalous caudodorsal displacement of the affected lobe. LLT should be considered as a differential diagnosis for respiratory tract disease following diaphragmatic rupture repair.
一只七岁大的雄性杰克罗素梗在腹部剖腹术修复大横膈破裂后十天出现咳嗽、全身无力和嗜睡的症状。胸部 X 光片显示中尾右侧胸腔有软组织肿块。超声研究、支气管镜检查和随后的剖腹探查术证实了右颅肺叶扭转（LLT）的诊断，受影响的肺叶异常向尾背侧移位。在横膈破裂修复后出现呼吸道疾病时，应考虑 LLT 作为鉴别诊断。
