Gastric diverticulum (GD) is a rare condition that is described adequately in humans but has not been reported in cats. This case series describes six cats with GD, including three that were published in a previous abstract. All cats presented for a variety of gastrointestinal disorders, including chronic vomiting, weight loss and anorexia, and underwent negative contrast radiography to diagnose GD. All but one cat underwent surgical resection of the GD via partial gastrectomy, while the remaining cat was euthanized. Resection of the GD was associated with reduction of reported clinical signs.
Gastric diverticula have never been reported in the cat. Negative contrast radiography appears to be a superior imaging technique in the diagnosis of feline GD. In cats with a vague chronic history, including vomiting, anorexia and weight loss, GD should be considered among the differential diagnoses. Further study and more cases need to be identified to better assess clinical problems referable to GD in the absence of other comorbidities. Maine Coon cats with GD appear to be over-represented.
胃憩室（GD）是一种罕见的疾病，在人类中已有充分描述，但在猫中尚未报道。本病例系列描述了 6 只患有 GD 的猫，其中 3 只曾在之前的一篇摘要中发表过。所有猫都因各种胃肠道疾病就诊，包括慢性呕吐、体重减轻和厌食，并进行了负对比放射摄影以诊断 GD。除了一只猫外，所有猫都通过部分胃切除术进行了 GD 的手术切除，而其余的猫则被安乐死。GD 的切除与报告的临床症状的减少有关。
胃憩室在猫中从未被报道过。负对比放射摄影术似乎是诊断猫 GD 的一种较好的成像技术。对于有模糊慢性病史的猫，包括呕吐、厌食和体重减轻，应将 GD 纳入鉴别诊断。需要进一步研究和更多病例来更好地评估在没有其他合并症的情况下与 GD 相关的临床问题。患有 GD 的缅因浣熊猫似乎更为常见。
