−
===Pathogenesis===
−
−
* Common following road traffic accidents in smaller dogs and cats
−
** Sudden rise in intra-abdominal pressure ruptures diaphragm, allowing [[Forestomach - Anatomy & Physiology|stomach]] to pass into thorax.
−
* Also results from kick or severe blow to abdomen
−
** Diaphragm splits and [[Forestomach - Anatomy & Physiology|stomach]] forced into thorax.
−
−
===Pathology===
−
−
* Abdominal viscera present in thoracic cavity.
−
** Flow of ingesta is disturbed.
−
** Thorax is distended and lungs collapse.
−
* There is a good chance of recovery if the condition is caught reasonably early (before adhesions begin to form).
−
** The damage can be repaired.[[Category:Stomach_and_Abomasum_-_Pathology]]
