RESUMEN
This paper describes the occurrence of cor triatriatum sinister, a rare cardiac malformation in dogs, associated with pulmonary edema and pulmonary hypertension in a 5-year-old Poodle female with history of acute dyspnea and cyanosis. The animal presented acute respiratory failure, heart failure with low cardiac output, progressing to acute tubular necrosis and death. The diagnosis was made posmortem due to the clinical instability of the dog. This malformation was diagnosed by the subdivision of the left atrium into two compartments separated by an abnormal fibromuscular membrane, absence of structural abnormalities of the mitral valve and thickening of pulmonary artery tunica media associated with renal tubular degeneration. The occurrence of cor triatriatum in dogs is most common in the right atrium, defined as cor triatriatum dexter. Additionally, pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with this malformation is described only in humans with this heart defect.(AU)

A próstata é a única glândula sexual acessória do cão. Dentre as prostatopatias, a hiperplasia prostática benigna, a metaplasia escamosa, as prostatites, os cistos prostáticos e paraprostáticos, os abscessos e as neoplasias podem estar presentes. O diagnóstico destas afecções baseia-se nos sinais clínicos, na palpação retal, nos exames radiográfico e ultrassonográfico, bem como nos exames citológico e histológico. O tratamento nas diversas prostatopatias destina-se a reduzir o tamanho prostático, minimizando os sinais clínicos manifestados. A presente revisão literária tem o intuito de apresentar as principais afecções prostáticas no cão, determinando as alternativas em diagnóstico e possibilidades terapêuticas para cada afecção.
The prostate gland is the only accessory sexual gland in dogs. The prostatic diseases, include benign prostatic hyperplasia, squamous metaplasia, prostatitis, prostatic and paraprostatic cysts, abscesses and neoplasias. The diagnosis of these alterations is based clinical signals, rectal palpation and radiographic, ultrasonographic, cytological, and histological evaluation. The objective of treatment is to reduce prostate enlargement and clinical signals. This literature review aims to present the major diseases in the dog prostate, with alternative diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities for each condition.
