Megaoesophagus associated to inflammatory infiltrate in the autonomous plexus in a 7-year-old Spanish Water Dog
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing a lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate surrounding the oesophageal myenteric plexus in an adult dog with no other clinical signs or other myopathies. With these results, the authors hope to raise awareness in the diagnostic of canine ME and include an immune-mediated cause that lean to the establishment of appropriate treatment and improve prognosis of this condition.
