Abstract

Perirenal pseudocyst is a disorder rarely reported in domestic animals. It is characterized by the accumulation of fluid in a fibrous sac around one or both kidneys. When fluid accumulates between the renal capsule and the peritoneal wall, it is classified as extracapsular or retroperitoneal. The objective was to report the case of a two-year-old mixed breed cat, attended with complaints of bloating and anorexia. The ultrasound examination revealed images compatible with perirenal peseudocyst, showing a large volume of fluid involving both kidneys. The treatment instituted was through the total capsulotomy procedure with omentalization. The capsulotomy procedure proved to be a very effective procedure, without the presence of complications or recurrences, in the surgical resolution of the extracapsular perirenal pseudocyst with accumulation of transudate, with no apparent cause.
