METHODS A retrospective study 41 dogs (25 with and 16 aspergillosis) that underwent scan nasal cavity was conducted. On imaging, turbinate destruction classified as mild, moderate or severe. The cribriform plate vomer were present absent. intensity fluid accumulation turbinates on T1 ‐weighted T2 images hypointense, hyperintense...

Five cats presented with acute-onset neurological signs. Magnetic resonance imaging in four showed a T2-weighted hyperintense spinal cord lesion that was mildly contrast-enhancing three cats. Owing to inflammatory cerebrospinal fluid changes were treated immunosuppression. One cat antibiotics. All improved initially, but eventually euthanased owing the recurrence of Histopathology all hyaline degeneration ventral artery, basilar artery or associated branches aneurysmal dilation, thrombosis...

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the MRI findings in cats following traumatic brain injury (TBI), and establish which features identified might correlate with prognosis. Methods magnetic resonance images 30 clinical signs attributed TBI were retrospectively reviewed assess imaging seen their correlation outcome. Results Twenty-one had a good outcome (full recovery or minor ongoing neurological deficits); other nine either died deficits that significantly affected quality...

The objectives of this study were to report the technique omentalisation for management sublumbar abscessation associated with suspected migrating plant material, intraoperative and postoperative complications that occurred long-term outcome cases. A retrospective case series dogs (n=10) managed by exploration drainage combined abscess cavity is reported in study. area was approached through a ventral midline coeliotomy, explored, drained, debrided subsequently packed omentum. One dog...

Intracranial arachnoid diverticula (cysts) are rare accumulations of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the membrane. The purpose this retrospective study was to describe magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics fourth ventricle in a group dogs. hospital's medical records were searched for dogs with MRI studies brain and diagnosis diverticulum. Clinical recorded from reinterpreted by board‐certified veterinary radiologist. Five pediatric fulfilled inclusion criteria. signs included...

The os penis in the cat has not been described radiographically, as compared with dog. However, a small linear bony radiopacity is sometimes detected perineal area of male cats. We hypothesized that feline might be visible on survey radiographs pelvis, and we aimed to investigate frequency its visualization using analog computed radiography (CR) system. One hundred pelvis 99 cats were reviewed retrospectively (50 obtained CR system 50 an system). Age, breed, neutering status, reason for...

An adult greyhound was evaluated on three occasions for acute, intracranial neurologic signs. Based magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, there were T2-hyperintense and T1-hypointense, noncontrast enhancing lesions in the cerebellum, brain stem. Using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), characterized initially by restricted water diffusion. The presumptive diagnosis each occasion acute ischemic cerebrovascular accident leading to infarction. This allowed us characterize changes appearance of...

The medical records of 12 dogs with chronic pyogranulomatous pleural disease unresponsive to management were reviewed retrospectively. Resection the mediastinal pleura (mediastinectomy) was performed through a median sternotomy remove all diseased and surgically accessible tissue. Dogs re-examined two weeks postoperatively, long-term outcome evaluated by contacting owners phone. Twelve underwent mediastinectomy; additional surgeries included subtotal pericardiectomy (8), lung lobectomy (4)...

Thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusions (TL-IVDEs) are a common spinal disorder in dogs, especially within chondrodystrophic breeds. Loss of deep pain perception is well-documented negative prognostic indicator dogs with TL-IVDE. The objectives this study were to report the rate return and independent ambulation surgically treated, paraplegic, French bulldogs TL-IVDEs.A retrospective case series TL-IVDE presenting two referral centres between 2015 2020 was conducted. Medical MRI records...

Sagittal T2-weighted sequences (T2-SAG) are the foundation of spinal protocols when screening for presence intervertebral disc extrusion. We often utilize sagittal short-tau inversion recovery (STIR-SAG) as an adjunctive series, and experience suggests that this combined approach provides superior detection rates. hypothesized STIR-SAG would provide higher sensitivity than T2-SAG in identification localization further parallel evaluation paired series a could be achieved with either...

ABSTRACT An intact female dog was examined for urinary incontinence. A right-sided ectopic ureterocele with bilateral hydroureter and pyelectasis diagnosed via ultrasonography, concurrent complicated tract infection. Following a course of antibiotics, cystoscopic-guided laser ablation performed, the remained continent at 3 mo follow-up. Cystoscopic-guided provides minimally invasive alternative to open surgery is treatment choice in humans, this case report demonstrates it feasible canine patients.
