Abstract
in English, French

A 5-year-old Belgian Malinois dog was presented for evaluation of dyspnea of 1-month duration. Tracheal intussusception was diagnosed by tracheoscopy. Treatment consisted of surgical resection of the invaginated tracheal ring and the immediate cranial and caudal tracheal rings. The dog recovered uneventfully; complications included temporary emphysema after surgery. Seven months after surgery, the dog was still clinically normal. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of a tracheal intussusception treated surgically in a dog.

Gestion d’une intussusception trachéale chez un chien. Un chien Malinois âgé de 5 ans a été présenté pour l’évaluation d’une dyspnée d’une durée de 1 mois. L’intussusception trachéale a été diagnostiquée par trachéoscopie. Le traitement instauré consistait en la résection chirurgicale de l’anneau trachéal et des anneaux trachéaux crâniaux et caudaux immédiats. Le chien s’est rétabli sans incident; les complications ont inclus un emphysème temporaire après la chirurgie. Sept mois après la chirurgie, le chien était toujours cliniquement normal. À la connaissance des auteurs, il s’agit du premier rapport d’une intussusception trachéale traitée par chirurgie chez un chien.(Traduit par Isabelle Vallières).
