Abstract

YEPES M, Catalina M; GOMEZ G, Leonardo F  and  OROZCO PADILLA, Sonia C. Diagnosis of idiopathic inflammatory pericarditis in a dog. A case report. Rev Colom Cienc Pecua [online]. 2008, vol.21, n.2, pp.271-279. ISSN 0120-0690.

This is a case of a nine years old male Bóxer, which presented exercise intolerance, weak cardiac sounds and abdominal distension caused by ascites. After performing ancillary tests like radiography, echocardiography and electrocardiography a severe accumulation of pericardial liquid which was generating a cardiac tamponade was confirmed. After the fluid was submitted to cytological evaluation and other possible diagnoses were excluded, it was determined the diagnosis of Inflammatory Idiopathic Pericarditis (IIP).

Keywords : cardiac tamponade; echocardiography; pericardial fluid.
