Four-year-old male neutered Border Collie presented with a 3-month history of proprioceptive ataxia, low head carriage, delayed postural reactions on thoracic limbs and neck pain. The patient was diagnosed congenital obstructive hydrocephalus secondary syringohydromyelia underwent successful ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) surgery. A year after surgery, the dog same neurological signs 2 weeks suffering trauma. On manual palpation, VPS valve firmly filled non-compressible suggesting presence...
Objectives Tick‐borne encephalitis virus and louping ill are neurotropic flaviviruses transmitted by ticks. Epidemiologically, tick‐borne is endemic in Europe whereas ill's predominant geographical distribution the UK. Rarely, these affect dogs causing neurological signs. This case series aimed to describe clinical, clinicopathological, imaging findings, as well outcomes six with meningoencephalitis and/or meningomyelitis caused a flavivirus UK 2021. Materials Methods Observational...
A 7-year-old Lhasa Apso presented with a history of left thoracic limb lameness and neck pain. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed well-defined, extradural lesion that was hyperintense on T1-weighted (T1W) images isointense T2-weighted (T2W) T2* located at the lamina C4 vertebra. Computed tomography showed an isoattenuating contrast-enhancing mass centered vertebral associated osteolysis. The surgically debulked, histopathology malignant melanocytic tumour. patient recovered completely...
Abstract Background Intervertebral disc herniation is widely recognized as the most common cause of myelopathy in dogs older than 2 years; however, prevalence various causes younger has not been reported. Hypothesis/Objectives To describe prevalence, clinical presentation, and etiology aged 18 months or less. Secondarily, to investigate which features were associated with each etiologies. Animals Two hundred twenty‐four less included study. Methods Retrospective review records from 4...
Background: Intracranial abscesses as a result of grass awn migration have been rarely described in the veterinary literature. The identification their radiological features is mandatory for proper diagnosis. As occurs with other organs, surgical drainage and directed antibiotic therapy should be considered treatment choice. Case Description: A clinical case Great Dane dog forebrain signs magnetic resonance imaging computed tomography findings compatible intracranial abscess associated...
A 3-year-old male entire boxer presented with a 3-week history of lethargy, hyporexia, hypersalivation, low-head carriage, pelvic limb tremors and intermittent vestibular ataxia. Neurological examination revealed kyphosis, wide-based stance, an alternating head tilt, left leaning, bilateral positional ventral strabismus vertical nystagmus. Exacerbation neurological signs increased extensor tone in all limbs were noticed after dorsal extension the neck. Neuroanatomical localisation was...
Background Oncolytic viruses constitute a growing field of interest, both in human and veterinary oncology, given that they are particularly helpful for treating non-surgical tumors disseminated cancer, such as high-grade gliomas. Companion dogs present malignant gliomas with biological, genetic, phenotypic, immunological, clinical similarities to These features favor comparative approaches, leading the treatment canine oncological patients achieve translational applications clinic. The...
ABSTRACT Although intervertebral disc extrusions are extremely frequent in dogs, those affecting the cranial thoracic spine large-breed dogs have not been reported. In this case report, clinical, radiological, surgical, and histopathological findings two German shepherd with T3-T4 Clinical imaging (acute onset radiological evidence of lateralized material dispersed beyond margins space) allowed proper diagnosis extrusion. Decompressive surgery via hemilaminectomy was performed both patients...
Atypical scrapie is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy that rarely diagnosed in living animals. In March 2022, 7-y-old Herdwick ewe was referred to the Scottish Centre for Production Animal Health and Food Safety because of circling behavior ill thrift. The had low body condition score, obtunded, with wide-based stance pelvic limbs, left. Hematologic, biochemical, CSF analyses were unremarkable, but postmortem magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings consistent diffuse, bilateral,...
Abstract Background Episodic ataxias (EAs) are a rare group of paroxysmal movement disorders (PMD) described in human medicine with only one suspected case veterinary literature. Hypothesis/Objectives This study aimed to provide clinical description primary EA working Cocker Spaniel (WCS) dogs. Animals Seven WCS dogs EA. Methods Descriptive, retrospecitve, multicenter study. Clinical signs, video footage, investigations, treatment, and outcome were reviewed. Owners affected invited complete...
Abstract Objective To report the diagnosis and clinical management of a case suspected intracranial hypovolemia (IH) in dog after resection large fronto‐olfactory chordoid meningioma. Study design Clinical report. Animal One 8‐year‐old border collie with forebrain neurological signs caused by extra‐axial mass diagnosed using MRI. Methods The underwent bilateral transfrontal craniotomy for excision ultrasonic aspiration. Immediate postsurgical MRI revealed complete gross no evidence...
ABSTRACT The objective of this study is to suggest clinical and subclinical atlantoaxial (AA) instability as a cause for dorsal AA ligament hypertrophy responsible signs in dogs with dens abnormalities. Clinical information from five malformed spinal cord compression at the junction was collected. All had neck pain, associated tetraparesis three cases. Radiological examination revealed hypoplastic two defect its ossification other three. Stress views were able demonstrate obvious only cases,...
Abstract A 3‐year‐old spayed female German Shepherd dog was presented for investigation and treatment of a firm slow growing mass over the right surface skull. Computed tomography (CT) head revealed proliferative, rounded well‐defined compact bone expanding extracranially. rostrotentorial craniectomy performed with ‘en bloc’ resection. To achieve clear margins, excision outer table frontal bone, subsequent opening sinus, necessary. provide an appropriate sealing between cranial cavity nasal...
