Pneumatosis coli is a rare intestinal disorder in dogs that is characterized by submucosal or subserosal emphysema of the colon. An 8-year-old castrated male Shih Tzu developed anorexia and hematochezia after undergoing surgery for a congenital splenophrenic shunt. Abdominal radiographic examination revealed linear radiolucency throughout the wall of the large intestine. Results of abdominal computed tomography revealed intramural gas tracking along the colon and rectum. Based on these findings, a diagnosis of pneumatosis coli was made. The dog was treated with antibiotics, but the general condition gradually deteriorated, and the dog died 6 days after the day of diagnosis. It was suspected that portal hypertension following partial ligation of congenital portosystemic shunt may have been associated with pneumatosis coli in this case.
结肠积气症是一种犬类罕见的肠道疾病，其特征为结肠黏膜下或浆膜下气肿。一只8岁去势雄性西施犬在接受先天性脾膈分流术手术后出现厌食和便血。腹部X线检查显示整个大肠壁有线性透亮区。腹部计算机断层扫描结果显示沿结肠和直肠有壁内气体影。基于这些发现，诊断为结肠积气症。该犬接受了抗生素治疗，但总体状况逐渐恶化，在诊断当天6天后死亡。怀疑在这种情况下，先天性门体分流部分结扎后的门静脉高压可能与结肠积气症有关。
