Animals suffering from mediastinal hernia lose condition, waste away, and in the end may die in a state of cachexia. Lesions. The lesions vary greatly. In accidental diaphragmatic hernia they are confined to rupture of the diaphragm, sometimes of the liver, and to changes in the reticulum or omasum. In intra-mediastinal hernia the layers of the mediastinum form a true hernial sac, and if the lesion is of old standing the displaced viscera may become attached to it, compressed, and partially strangulated. Diagnosis. The diagnosis is very difficult, at all events in medi- astinal hernia, and can only be arrived at by a process of exclusion.
