A 13-year-old neutered female Labrador retriever had inspiratory dyspnea secondary to bilateral laryngeal paralysis. Radiographically, there was pectus excavatum with a mediastinal shift to the right. Arytenoid lateralization was performed, relieving the upper respiratory obstruction, and the sternal deformity also resolved. Chronic upper respiratory obstruction should be considered in dogs with pectus excavatum. Furthermore, correction of upper respiratory obstruction has the potential to result in resolution of pectus excavatum.
一只13岁已绝育的雌性拉布拉多寻回犬因双侧喉麻痹继发吸气性呼吸困难。影像学检查显示，存在漏斗胸，纵隔向右移位。进行了杓状软骨外侧化手术，缓解了上呼吸道梗阻，胸骨畸形也得到了矫正。对于患有漏斗胸的犬只，应考虑慢性上呼吸道梗阻。此外，矫正上呼吸道梗阻有可能使漏斗胸得到缓解。
