To describe the clinical signs and outcome of a large cohort dogs presenting with neurological secondary to Neospora caninum infection.
Infectious meningoencephalitides represent an important differential diagnosis for meningoencephalitis of unknown origin (MUO) in dogs. Treatment the latter requires immunosuppression, but laboratory test results infectious agents may take several days to return. This study investigated whether presence masticatory muscle changes on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) head can be used distinguish dogs with neosporosis from those MUO at time diagnosis. Cases diagnosed or two referral centers...
Steroid responsive meningitis-arteritis (SRMA) is an immune-mediated disease of the leptomeninges and its associated blood vessels, typically to corticosteroids. Clinically relevant haemorrhage a rare finding in such patients for this reason surgical decompression spinal cord normally not considered. The diagnosis SRMA supported by serum C-reactive protein (CRP) increase, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination, including cytology (polymorphonuclear pleocytosis acute form), nucleated cell-,...
A 10-month-old, 3 kg, female spayed Domestic Shorthair cat was presented with a chronic, infected wound at the level of proximo-lateral left pelvic limb. General physical examination revealed weight-bearing lameness limb, which moderately and circumferentially swollen edematous proximal to tarsal joint. On lateral aspect thigh, there chronic 1 cm in diameter an additional exudative skin lesion present throughout whole length caudo-lateral thigh. Complete blood count serum biochemistry...
Cats, similar to humans, are known be affected by hippocampal sclerosis (HS), potentially causing antiepileptic drug (AED) resistance. HS can occur as a consequence of chronic seizure activity, trauma, inflammation, or even primary disease. In temporal lobe resection is the standardized therapy in patients with refractory epilepsy (TLE). The majority TLE free after surgery. Therefore, purpose this prospective cadaveric study establish surgical technique for cats treatment AED resistant...
Cats are known to be affected by hippocampal sclerosis, potentially causing antiseizure drug(s) resistance. In order lay the foundation for a standardized, systematic classification and diagnosis of this pathology in cats, prospective study aimed at evaluating normal reference values cellular densities cytoarchitecture feline hippocampus. Three transverse sections (head, body tail) each left hippocampus were obtained from 17 non-epileptic cats different brachycephalic mesocephalic breeds age...
