Hiatal and pericardial hernia and its possible association with feline cutaneous asthenia: case report. (English)
- Abstract:
Feline cutaneous asthenia also called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), or dermatosparaxis, is a rare inherited connective tissue disease, characterized by hyperextensibility and skin laxity. This report is from a male cat that presented recurrence and rapid healing skin continuity solutions, with absence of bacteria in the cytology and wound culture, the physical examination showed hyperextensibility and skin fragility. According to the clinical characteristics, skin asthenia was suspected, the measure of skin laxity was taken, based on the skin extensibility index (SEI), which result was 46.8%, above normal value (<19 %). Skin biopsy was performed for histopathology and Masson's trichrome staining, and through this, the definitive diagnosis of feline cutaneous asthenia was reached. Subsequently, oniquectomy was performed on all four members to prevent further damage to the skin with the nails caused by constant itching. The patient returned a month after his oniquectomy surgery with a history of vomiting and loss of appetite. After the clinical evaluation, thoracic and abdominal radiography and ultrasound were performed and peritoneo-pericardial hernia was diagnosed with liver eventization to the pericardial sac and hiatal hernia with eventration of the stomach body towards the thorax. The patient underwent hernioraphy and grastropexy surgery to correct this condition. Monthly check ups are performed on the patient in which no changes in the skin or internal organs are evident.

- Abstract:
La astenia cutánea felina, dermatosparaxis o sıńdrome de Ehlers-Danlos (EDS) en humanos, es una enfermedad hereditaria del tejido conectivo de rara presentación, caracterizada por hiperextensibilidad y laxitud de la piel. Este reporte es de un felino que presentó pérdida de soluciones de continuidad de piel de forma recurrente y cicatrización rápida, con ausencia de bacterias en la citologıá y el cultivo de las heridas, con hiperextensibilidad y fragilidad cutánea al examen clıńico. Ante la sospecha de astenia cutánea, se tomó la medida de la laxitud de la piel, basados en el ıńdice de extensibilidad de la piel (SEI), cuyo resultado fue 46.8%, valor por encima del normal (<19%). Una biopsia de piel se tomó para histopatologıá y tinción tricrómica de Masson, la cual permitió el diagnóstico definitivo de astenia cutánea felina. Posteriormente se realizó oniquectomıá en los cuatro miembros para evitar que siguiera lesionando la piel con las uñas ocasionado por constante prurito. El paciente regresó un mes después de su cirugıá de oniquectomıá con historial de vómitos e inapetencia; posterior a la valoración clıńica se realizaron radiografıá y ecografıá torácica y abdominal y se diagnosticó hernia peritoneo-pericárdica con eventración del hıǵado al saco pericárdico y hernia hiatal con eventración del cuerpo del estómago hacia el tórax. El paciente fue sometido a cirugıá de herniorrafia y gastropexia para corregir esta condición. Luego se realizaron controles mensuales al paciente en los cuales no se evidenciaron cambios en la piel u órganos internos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
