ABSTRACT

 

Mohamed Marzok M, Ben Alia L, Abdelhadia J, Abushhiwaa M, Unusual radiographic findings in a puppy with esophageal diverticulum, Onl J Vet Res., 17 (12):691-697, 2013. A three-month- old, female, German shepherd puppy was presented vomiting shortly after eating and severe weight loss since birth. A plain lateral radiograph was taken which showed a large, radio-opaque mass just cranial to the heart. Two lateral and ventro-dorsal contrast radiographs  revealed contrast medium accumulation at the site of the mass which protruded into the bronchi of the right caudal lung lobe suggesting that that there was a connection between the esophagus and one or more bronchi of this lung lobe.
