Megaesophagus. Canine. Diagnosis. Radiographic.Abstract
Megaesophagus is the term given to generalized esophageal dilation, as well as hypomotility or zero motility with regard to peristalsis in this region, which may be acquired, secondary, idiopathic or congenital, which results in physiological changes in food transit. An animal of the canine species of the Siberian Husk breed, 30 days old and in the infant phase, was seen at a private clinic in Marmelópolis/MG, where changes in the respiratory pattern were found. An x-ray examination of the thoracic region was requested, as the suspected congenital megaesophagus. The objective of the present work is to report the case described and the use of radiographic examination to diagnose megaesophagus in an animal of the canine species in the infancy stage.
