Abstract

An 8-month-old Chow-Chow dog presented with dysphagia and regurgitation, and was diagnosed with cricopharyngeal dysphagia (CPD). Cricopharyngeal myotomy did not improve the clinical signs. Three months after the initial surgery, a subtotal myectomy of cricopharyngeal muscle with partial thyropharngeal myotomy was performed. The clinical improvement was maintained for more than one year after the second surgery. Subtotal myectomy of cricopharyngeal muscle can be considered for dogs with CPD that do not respond to myotomy.
