Abstract
Diaphragmatic rupture is a pathology caused mainly by trauma, but there is a congenital form, in which the animal is born with this alteration. The most common clinical sign in animals is dyspnea, but signs from other systems can be identified. The diagnosis is based on chest X-rays, where the diaphragm is not seen and organs of the abdominal cavity are seen in the chest cavity. The treatment of choice is surgical, which consists of diaphragmatic raffia. The prognosis of the animal after the surgical procedure is good to reserved in cases of chronic diaphragmatic rupture. The objective of the work is to report a complication in the postoperative period of diaphragmatic break, where the animal presented intermittent vomiting associated with hepatogastric torsion. Thus contributing to the literature since this change was not found in other animals.
