Computed tomography identified ipsilateral rib fractures, atelectasis, nodular pleuritis, marginal lymph node enlargement, and suspected dilation of the thoracic duct and internal thoracic veins. Fifteen lipids were significantly higher in serum of the dolphin as compared with controls (n = 3) using nontargeted lipidomics.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>TREATMENT AND OUTCOME<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A series of thoracentesis procedures were performed. Follow-up CT demonstrated marked reduction in pleural effusion with persistence of thoracic duct dilation and mass-like areas of pleural thickening. Ultrasonographic resolution of pleural effusion occurred 14 months after presentation; however, recrudescence was noted 5 months later. Over a total of 24 months, 21.52 L of pleural effusion was removed. Despite the presence of pleural effusion, the patient was clinically stable during this time and quality of life was considered good on the basis of continuous animal welfare evaluations. Humane euthanasia was elected following acute clinical decline 27 months after initial diagnosis. Necropsy confirmed severe pleural effusion, chronic severe pleural fibrosis with chronic hemorrhage, and mediastinal fibrosis with entrapped lymph nodes and thymic tissue.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Pleuritis and effusion were suspected sequelae of previous rib fractures. To our knowledge, this is the first report of nonchylous lymphatic pleural effusion with repeated pleural drainage and diagnostic imaging for clinical management in a bottlenose dolphin.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.21.06.0311","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,16]],"date-time":"2022-03-16T20:13:39Z","timestamp":1647461619000},"page":"1-9","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Chronic nonchylous lymphatic pleural effusion in a bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus)"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"260","author":[{"given":"Jennifer P.","family":"Russell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"SeaWorld San Antonio Zoological Department, San Antonio, TX"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Steven D.","family":"Osborn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SeaWorld San Antonio Zoological Department, San Antonio, TX"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marina","family":"Ivan\u010di\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chicago Zoological Society, Brookfield Zoo, Brookfield, IL"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Juan J.","family":"Aristizabal-Henao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Environmental and Human Toxicology and Department of Physiological Sciences, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John A.","family":"Bowden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Environmental and Human Toxicology and Department of Physiological Sciences, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nancy","family":"Stedman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment, Busch Gardens, Tampa, FL"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicole I.","family":"Stacy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Comparative, Diagnostic, and Population Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"CRC Handbook of Marine Mammal Medicine","first-page":"1003","article-title":"Appendix 1: normal hematology and serum chemistry ranges","author":"Gulland FMD","year":"2018","unstructured":"Gulland FMD, Dierauf LA, Whitman KL.
