Lung lobe torsion, although rare in cats, can be seen as a sequela to chronic respiratory disease. Clinical signs may include lethargy, coughing, hemoptysis, and respiratory distress. Lung lobe torsion may be diagnosed using radiography, ultrasonography, contrast bronchography, bronchoscopy, or thoracoscopy. Stabilization with fluids, oxygen, and supportive care followed by thoracotomy and lobectomy of the affected lobe(s) are necessary for a successful outcome. Diagnosis and treatment of lung lobe torsion is described in a 12.5-year-old cat with a history of feline asthma.
肺叶扭转在猫中虽罕见，但可作为慢性呼吸道疾病的后遗症出现。临床症状可能包括嗜睡、咳嗽、咯血和呼吸窘迫。肺叶扭转可通过X线摄影、超声检查、造影支气管造影、支气管镜检查或胸腔镜检查来诊断。为取得成功的治疗效果，需要通过补液、输氧和支持性护理进行稳定治疗，随后对受影响的肺叶进行开胸手术和肺叶切除术。本文描述了一只患有猫哮喘病史的12.5岁猫的肺叶扭转的诊断和治疗情况。
