Abstract
A two-day-old female Toggenburg goat with thoracic ectopia cordis (EC) was diagnosed via radiography and computed tomography. The goat was born with EC, defects of the sternum and a supra-umbilical abdominal wall, but without the presence of Cantrell's syndrome. Necropsy and histopathological findings indicated the affected kid had malformation of the heart with an enlarged left ventricle. The findings showed the heart (9 x 5 x 5 cm) stayed outside the thorax, and was covered by a semitransparent membrane. This report is the first to describe a case of thoracic EC in a goat whose sternum was not developed fully and was not connected to the ribs. It is also the first paper to describe three-dimensional images of this condition constructed from computed tomography scans.
我们通过x线摄影和计算机断层扫描诊断了一只2天大的雌性Toggenburg山羊胸廓异位(EC)。这只山羊出生时患有EC，胸骨缺陷和脐上腹壁，但没有坎特雷尔综合征的存在。尸检和组织病理学结果表明，受影响的孩子有心脏畸形，左心室增大。结果显示心脏(9 x 5 x 5 cm)位于胸腔外，并被半透明膜覆盖。本报告首次报道了山羊胸骨未发育完全且未与肋骨相连的胸椎EC病例。这也是第一篇描述通过计算机断层扫描构建的这种情况的三维图像的论文。
