Abstract
A five months old, female Himalayan cat was referred to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital at Konkuk University, because of suspecting peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia (PPDH). After consecutive examination, the patient was diagnosed as PPDH and hepatic dysfunction. In spite of medical therapy for a month, the serum chemistry profiles for liver enzymes (aspartate transferase: 469 U/L, alanine transferase: above analysis, gamma-glutamyl transferase: above analysis) did not decrease to the normal range. In operation, some of liver was necrotized and was adhesive to diaphragm, these were gently dissected from thoracic structures, and resected. After debriding, the edges of the defect of diaphragm were closed with a simple continuous suture pattern. One month after operation, the cat had normal condition, recovery was uncomplicated, and the serum chemistry profiles for liver enzymes decrease to the normal range.
