A pericardial cyst developed in a 2-year-old male neutered Maine Coon cat following surgery for an incidentally diagnosed congenital peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia. The cyst caused no clinical signs in the cat, although clinical findings included positional right-sided cardiac tamponade and compression of thoracic structures, associated with a cardiac arrhythmia and axis deviation on electrocardiography. Extensive assessment of the cyst included radiography, echocardiography, computed tomography, exploratory thoracotomy, electrocardiography, histopathology and fluid analysis. Surgical removal of the cyst was curative, and the arrhythmia and axis deviation resolved. This report details case management from initial diagnosis to long-term follow-up, adding to the limited body of literature available on feline pericardial cysts. This is also the first report to associate cardiac arrhythmia with a pericardial cyst.
一只2岁已绝育的缅因库恩猫在因偶然诊断出的先天性腹膜心包膈疝接受手术后出现了心包囊肿。该囊肿在猫身上未引起临床症状，尽管临床检查发现包括右侧体位性心脏压塞和胸部结构受压，并伴有心律失常和心电图电轴偏移。对囊肿进行了广泛评估，包括放射学检查、超声心动图检查、计算机断层扫描、开胸探查、心电图检查、组织病理学检查和液体分析。手术切除囊肿治愈了疾病，心律失常和电轴偏移也得到了解决。本报告详细介绍了从初步诊断到长期随访的病例管理情况，为有关猫心包囊肿的有限文献增添了内容。这也是将心律失常与心包囊肿相关联的首份报告。
