Abstract
|
|
|
Signalment: A dog which had been hit by car a month prior and had been experiencing recurrent pleuralchyle effusion was referred to Chung-buk National University Animal Medical Center. The clinical signs includedtachypnea and salivation.
Results: Ultrasound-guided popliteal lymphography was performed. The computed tomographyimaging revealed that the thoracic duct was ruptured and the lymph was leaking into the cranial mediastinal region. After this discovery, thoracic duct ligation was performed. The ultrasound-guided popliteal lymphography was repeatedafter the surgery. The second computed tomography imaging revealed that the thoracic duct rupture was resolved.
Clinical relevance: We identified the etiology of chylothorax through the computed tomographic lymphography andimaged specific leakage areas. After surgery, the computed tomography imgaing confirmed the lymphatic flowmodification and the treatment was successful.
