Résumé
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is an uncommon condition described in veterinary medicine with concurrent respiratory disease. It can be caused by the Macklin effect, which is when gas leaks from the alveoli into the surrounding interstitial lung tissue. Pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE) is the presence of gas within the pulmonary vascular sheaths and indicates the presence of the Macklin effect. In the authors' experience, spontaneous pneumomediastinum and PIE are more prevalent in sighthound dogs than in other breeds and are often considered incidental findings. This retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study compared the prevalence of PIE and subsequent pneumomediastinum in sighthound with other purebred dogs. It characterized the appearance of PIE in CT and analyzed a possible association with concomitant pulmonary pathologies or with the use of general anesthesia. Medical records and thoracic CTs of sighthounds and nonsighthound dogs from two institutions were reviewed. A total of 256 dogs, comprising 127 sighthounds and 129 other purebred dogs, were included. The prevalence of PIE and pneumomediastinum was statistically higher in sighthound (14.2%) compared with other nonsighthound dogs (2.2%). There was no statistical association between the presence of PIE and pneumomediastinum with different age and weight groups or with sex. There was no statistical difference in the prevalence of PIE and pneumomediastinum between dogs with and without pulmonary pathology or in dogs undergoing CT with sedation or general anesthesia. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum in sighthounds is more prevalent than in other breeds, and its prevalence is not associated with the presence of pulmonary pathology or the use of general anesthesia.
