  • Title: Intramural tracheal haematoma causing acute respiratory obstruction in a dog.
    Author: Pink JJ.
    Journal: J Small Anim Pract; 2006 Mar; 47(3):161-4. PubMed ID: 16512849.
    Abstract:
    Respiratory obstruction resulting from a discrete haematoma within the dorsal tracheal membrane was seen in an 11-year-old neutered female greyhound that had been involved in a fight two days earlier. There was no history or evidence of rodenticide toxicity or other coagulopathy, and it is suggested that the tracheal haematoma resulted from trauma. A right third intercostal thoracotomy was performed and this allowed resection of the haematoma from within the dorsal membrane of the cranial thoracic trachea, relieving the obstruction with no subsequent signs of dyspnoea. Intramural haematoma should be considered as a rare differential diagnosis for dogs presenting with acute respiratory obstruction.
