RESUMO
An approximately 3-month-old crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous) was found by environmental authorities in the State of Paraiba, Northeastern Brazil and referred to a wildlife care center. The fox was presenting respiratory distress and it was referred to the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Paraiba (UFPB) for ancillary testing. Abdominal and thoracic ultrasound and radiographies were performed. These imaging tests indicated the fox had a possible diaphragmatic hernia and ectopic kidney. The imageology results were confirmed on necropsy, which revealed a postero-lateral focal discontinuity of the dorsal aspect of the diaphragmatic muscle with protrusion of the gastrointestinal tract into the thoracic cavity. The stomach and intestinal loops were filled with gas and obliterated the visualization of the heart and lungs. Additionally, only the right kidney was found, and no vestigial left kidney was identified. Congenital diaphragmatic hernias are not commonly observed in wildlife but should be considered as a potential differential diagnosis for acute onset of respiratory distress in young carnivores.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a disease with a high postnatal morbidity and mortality due to the lung hypoplasia associated, which is why it is so important an early diagnosis, being recommended in average in the second trimester of gestation. This finding allows a proper immediate management of the newborn in a specialized health center. Through a case report we will present a review of CDH types and diagnosis, making emphasis in theultrasonographic diagnosis during pregnancy.
La Hernia Diafragmática Congénita (HDC) es una enfermedad que presenta una alta morbimortalidad postnatal por la hipoplasia pulmonar asociada, poresto es importante un diagnóstico precoz, siendo recomendado en promedio dentro del segundo trimestre de gestación. Este hallazgo permite unadecuado manejo inmediato del recién nacido en un centro de salud especializado. En base al caso clínico que se presentará a continuación realizamos una revisión sobre los tiposy el diagnóstico de la HDC haciendo énfasis en el diagnóstico ultrasonográfico durante el embarazo.

Las hernias diafmgmáticas de origen traumático son una patología poco frecuente en los mños y generalmente esta asociada a lesiones en otros órganos. Se presenta este caso por la forma de evolución y al presentar solo lesión diafragmática, fue importante el seguimiento de la paciente para un diagnóstico temprano, la conducta fue quirúrgica con laparatomia y sutura del dliafragma roto
