Thoracic ultrasonography is a widely used diagnostic technique for the evaluation of equine thoracic diseases in both the ambulatory and referral settings, yielding information about the lung and pleural cavity that can be attained noninvasively and stallside. The side(s) of the thorax affected, as well as the precise location of lesions, can be determined in most horses because the involved lu...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical, surgical and diagnostic imaging findings in 11 cats and 3 dogs with suspected acute and chronic traumatic diaphragmatic hernia, and to compare the results of positive contrast cheliography (peritoneography) taken immediately and 5 min after the injection of contrast material. Thoracic and abdominal radiography, ultrasonography, and positive co...

Empyema, an accumulation of infected fluid in the thoracic cavity, is commonly secondary to bacterial pneumonia in children. Despite the high prevalence and availability of many medical treatment options, there is no general consensus on the optimal management approach, which would lead to full and rapid recovery. Especially, there are the big differences in treatment options for the child with...

Chylopericardium is a rare clinical entity in which chylous fluid accumulates in the pericardial cavity. We report a case of primary idiopathic chylopericardium associated with multiple, small cervicomediastinal cystic hygromas occurring in an asymptomatic 43-year-old woman with no history of trauma, thoracic surgery, malignancy, infection or tuberculosis. Echocardiography showed a large amount...

background: previous anatomic and radiological studies have described the relationship of the clavicle to major neurovascular structures in healthy subjects. we were curious about this relationship in patients with a clavicle fracture and if it is different from non-fractured clavicles.   methods: we retrospectively identified all patients with a clavicle fracture between july 2001 and october ...

Single incision video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), better known as uniportal VATS, has taken the world of thoracic surgery by storm over the previous few years. Through advances in techniques and technology, surgeons have been able to perform increasingly complex thoracic procedures utilizing a single small incision, hence avoiding the inherent morbidity of the standard open thoracotomy. T...
