Abstract

Lung eventration is a rare condition in animals. A day-old piglet was presented with an eventration of lung lobe on the left ventral thoracic area following bite by the dam. The condition was diagnosed as extra-thoracic inter-costal lung eventration. The condition was surgically corrected following aseptic technique. The piglet recovered uneventfully.
