Abstract
A case of animal care, feline, adult, female is described, with diagnosis of chronic diaphragmatic hernia with the gravid uterus in the final stage of gestation as part of the hernial content. Gradual fetal growth during pregnancy led to significant respiratory impairment. The severity of the condition necessitated a surgical interruption of gestation with posterior herniorrhaphy with peritoneal flap, but it did not succeed and the animal died at the end of the surgical procedure. The death was attributed to the chronicity and severity of the clinical condition in which it was found. This report highlights the importance of immediate correction of diaphragmatic hernias and prenatal follow-up during pregnancy.
