    A thoracic esophageal diverticulum caused regurgitation in a Miniature Poodle. Surgical removal of the scar tissue-filled diverticulum resulted in a full recovery and good health.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Surgery
    • Gastroenterology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Esophageal diverticula are rare outpouchings of the esophageal wall.
    • Thoracic esophageal diverticula can lead to regurgitation and aspiration pneumonia in dogs.
    • Surgical intervention is often required for symptomatic esophageal diverticula.

    Observation:

    • An 11-month-old Miniature Poodle presented with regurgitation of food and fluid.
    • Diagnostic evaluation revealed a diverticulum in the thoracic esophagus.

    Findings:

    • Surgical excision of the esophageal diverticulum was performed.
    • Histopathological examination of the resected diverticulum showed extensive scar tissue formation.
    • The dog experienced an uneventful recovery following the procedure.

    Implications:

    • Surgical management of thoracic esophageal diverticula can lead to successful outcomes in dogs.
    • The presence of scar tissue in the diverticulum wall may indicate a chronic underlying condition.
    • This case highlights the importance of surgical intervention for esophageal diverticula to restore normal esophageal function and improve patient quality of life.
