Combined hiatal and pleuroperitoneal hernia in a shar-pei.
This article presents an unusual combination of a type IV hiatal hernia and a pleuroperitoneal hernia in a young shar-pei. Pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of both conditions are discussed. At surgery, close examination and palpation of the whole diaphragm are recommended to allow perioperative diagnosis of unexpected defects.
