Abstract
Two cats with icterus had extrahepatic biliary tract obstruction secon dary to diaphragmatic hernia. Diagnosis was supported by,.serum bioche mical analysis and radiographic and ultrasonographic findings, and con firmed by exploratory celiotomy. Return of displaced organs into the p eritoneal cavity and repair of the diaphragmatic rent led to complete recovery in both cases. Surgical intervention may result in a favorabl e outcome in cats with posthepatic icterus secondary to diaphragmatic hernia.
