| Description |
Diaphragmatic hernias (DH) are not seen very often and such spontaneous defects are extremely rare in the horse. A history of trauma, natural covering, dystocia or severe exercise often precedes the presentation of a horse with a diaphragmatic hernia (Everett et al., 1992). In some case, there is no history of any of the above factors. Colic is the primary presenting complaint in most affected horses (Colahan et al., 1999). This case report is case of the diaphragmatic hernia and describes the clinical features and characteristic of necropsy in a Thoroughbred gelding.
