Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome
Juga dikenali sebagai: Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome, Brachycephalic Syndrome, BOAS, BAS, Upper airway obstruction syndrome
Ringkasnya
Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) is a common, inherited condition affecting flat-faced pets. It occurs when compressed facial anatomy restricts airflow, causing severe breathing difficulties, heat intolerance, and digestive issues. Early surgical intervention is highly effective at restoring normal breathing and preventing life-threatening airway collapse.

TL;DR. Penyakit pernafasan keturunan pada baka muka rata: saluran sempit, usaha tarik nafas, intoleransi haba, risiko rebah; kerap memerlukan pembedahan.
Saluran nafas normal berbanding saluran termampat brakiseefalik.
Apakah ia?
Tisu lembut berlebihan dalam tengkorak pendek: lubang hidung stenotik, lelangit lembut memanjang, kadang trakea hipoplastik; tekanan negatif dan kolaps laring sekunder.
Punca dan faktor risiko
Kongenital brakiseefalik. Anjing: pug, French Bulldog, English Bulldog, Boxer, Pekingese, Chinese Shar-Pei, Boston Terrier. Kucing: Parsi, Himalaya. Lebih teruk dengan obesiti dan haba.
Tanda
- Usaha inspirasi (kardinal)
- Stertor, stridor, berdengkur, intoleransi senaman/haba, muntah/regurgitasi
- Kecemasan: sianosis, rebah, stridor kuat

Bernafas mulut dan lidah terjulur menandakan distres.
Diagnosis
Pemeriksaan; laringoskopi di bawah sedasi (emas); endoskopi, radiograf toraks, kadang gas darah.

Lelangit lembut memanjang menyekat laring.
Rawatan
Kecemasan: oksigen, penyejukan, sedasi, Glucocorticoids. Pembedahan: perluasan lubang hidung, stafiektomi, reseksi sakulus.
Prognosis
Baik dengan pembedahan awal; berwaspada jika kolaps laring lanjut.
Pencegahan
Pembiakan bertanggungjawab, berat kurus, elak haba, abah-abah (bukan kolar).
