Özet
Bu raporun materyalini Erciyes Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Patoloj i Anabilim Dalına nekropsi isteği ile getirilen ve solunum güçlüğü nedeniyle öldüğü bildirilen dört günlük Akkaraman dişi bir kuzu oluşturdu. Nekropside diyaframda 13 cm uzunluğundaki yarıktan midenin bir kısmının göğüs boşluğuna geçtiği ve akciğerlerin sol lobuna baskı yaptığı görüldü. Göğüs boşluğuna geçen organ normal konumuna getirilince diyafram kasının yırtık kenarının inceldiği dikkati çekti. Akciğerlerin sol lobunun kollabe olduğu görüldü. Karaciğer üzerinde 8-12 cm büyüklüklerinde gri beyaz renkli değişikliklerin varlığı tespit edildi. Mikroskobik olarak, diyafram kasının yırtık kenarının fibröz dokudan oluştuğu gözlendi. Akciğerlerde atelektazik alanlar ile karaciğerde hepatositlerde yağ dejenerasyonu görüldü. Kuzularda ender görülen, nekropsi bulguları ve histopatoloj ik incelemeler sonucunda konjenital diyafram fıtığı olarak tanımlanan bu olgu Türkiyeden bildirilen ilk vakadır.
