Arlett is a 10 month old MN DSH cat referred for ultrasound to confirm suspected diagnosis of PPDH on X-rays.

In comparisson with my previous case with PPDH…this one looks different to me and I do not think it is a PPDH but a plain hiatal hernia, based on the lack of pericardial effusion, lack of clear pericardial sac containing abdominal viscera and amount of herniated content (liver lobes, omentum and small intestines).
