| 英文描述 | A dog was described which had a 5-week history of pitting edema of the head, ventral neck, and dependent parts of all limbs. There was no hypoproteinemia nor congestive heart failure. On radiography there was free fluid in the thoracic cavity. This syndrome was believed to be due to obstruction of the lymphatic pathways. Lymphangiography shows anastamoses, presence of dermal backflow, and dye excretion by the kidneys without radiographically apparent passage through the thoracic duct. Very rare. |
