Abstract
A 15-month old female Terre-neuve female dog has exhibited a severe po st-inflammatory stenosis of the thoracic oesophagus, following surgery undergone one month before. Main symptoms were severe dysorexia, odyn ophagia, regurgitations and weight loss. Final diagnosis was given by contrast radiographs and flexible oesophagoscopy. Treatment included e ndoscopic dilatation of the stenosis with balloon catheters of increas ing sizes. This constitutes the first description in France of a succe ssful non-surgical oesophageal stenosis treatment.
