Peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia in cats

We had an exciting case this week - Emma was supposed to be castrated and during the preliminary examination this complication turned out to be that she had a peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia (PPDH). For the layman, a peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia (PPDH) is a rare malformation in cats in which there is an opening between the abdominal and thoracic cavities. This can cause organs from the abdomen to enter the pericardium, which can lead to problems with heart function. Most affected cats show no symptoms, while others may have difficulty breathing or pain. Diagnosis is made through imaging tests and in some cases surgical treatment is necessary.
