“…Peritoneopericardial hernia commonly contains omentum, liver lobes, gallbladder and small intestine, as a result of the simple communication between the peritoneal and pericardial cavities. Herniation of the stomach, colon, falciform ligament, and spleen have also been reported (LIPTAK et al, 2000). Large defects in the diaphragm allow organs to pass freely into the pericardial sac, which may result in adhesions of abdominal organs to the pericardium and entrapment of the organs in the pericardium, leading to respiratory, cardiac, or gastrointestinal tract problems.…”

Peritoneopericardial hernia is a malformation which allows the protrusion of abdominal organs into the pericardial sac. Several methods of herniorrhaphy had been described in human and veterinary medicine, such as the usage of prosthetic patches, allografts and autologous grafts. The purpose of this study was to describe a new technique of herniorrhaphy, which combines two different materials for defect closure (nonautologouspolypropylene mesh and autologous-pericardial flap) in a case of recurrent peritoneopericardial hernia in a dog. A two-year-old, intact female Rhodesian Ridgeback was presented with an eight week history of respiratory problems, occasional coughing, vomiting, lethargy, body mass loss and icteric mucous membrane. The reason for using this technique was tension at hernial ring, which could have caused recurrence of the peritoneopericardial hernia. Polypropylene mesh was used in order to reinforce the herniorrhaphy and an autologous flap served as a barrier against mesh exposure to the epicardial surface. In our opinion, this method is safe with no complications observed, so therefore, it could be a suitable method for peritoneopericardial reherniation repair.

“…There is also one report of intrapericardial hepatic tissue and those authors assumed the organ was suffering from a degree of hypoxia, but myelolipoma did not eventuate 7 . There are also two reports of intrapericardial hepatic cysts associated with PPDH, both of which were thought to be a result of vascular and lymphatic congestion, secondary to constriction of the trapped liver lobe 8,9 . A reasonable explanation for the rarity of myelolipoma, despite PPDH being one of the most common congenital anomalies in cats, is that the hernia ring is generally large, resulting in minimal constraint of the displaced tissues.…”

Hepatic myelolipoma incarcerated in a peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia in a cat

Hepatic myelolipoma incarcerated in a peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia was diagnosed in an 11-year-old, desexed female Persian cat. The cat was initially referred for investigation of tachypnoea and dyspnoea. Peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia is a common incidental finding in cats and is usually asymptomatic. Myelolipoma is an extremely rare benign tumour, composed of extramedullary haematopoietic cells and adipose tissue. Myelolipomas are hypothesised to result from metaplastic alteration, rather than a neoplastic process, although this theory cannot be substantiated. The present case is only the fourth report of such an unusual occurrence in cats and displays significant differences to previous reports. Hepatic entrapment and burgeoning of the mass within the pericardial sac resulted in cardiac tamponade and overt signs of right-sided cardiac failure. Surgical intervention was successful and despite concerns regarding the cat's clinical presentation and the gross appearance of the lesion(s), a good long-term outcome is anticipated.

“…PPDH is a common congenital anomaly in dogs and cats. 1,2 Although numerous case reports have been published 5,6,[8][9][10][13][14][15][16][17][23][24][25][26][27][28] in both species, only one report describes the condition in a pregnant dog. 21 The previous report involved a 3-year-old female Pointer that was examined for anorexia, lethargy, green vaginal discharge, and multiple lactigenous mammary glands.…”

Objective: To describe the surgical repair and pre‐ and postoperative management of a peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia (PPDH) in a pregnant dog. Case summary: A pregnant dog was presented for vomiting, lethargy, and pale mucous membranes. Pulsus paradoxus was noted on physical examination. The dog was diagnosed with a PPDH via thoracic radiographs, abdominal ultrasound, and an echocardiogram. The hernia was surgically repaired and the dog received supportive medical care until the puppies were old enough to be delivered via cesarean section. The mother and all puppies survived. New or unique information provided: This is the first report that describes the surgical repair and postoperative management of a PPDH in a pregnant dog.
