Three dogs with multilobular osteochondrosarcoma of the skull were evaluated using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Spin echo T1, T2, proton weighted and post contrast T1W images were obtained with a 1.5 Tesla magnet. The MR imaging findings were similar in all three dogs with mixed signal intensities in the T1W, T2W and proton weighted images and fairly large areas of contrast enhancement in the post contrast T1W images. The extent of brain and soft tissue involvement were well delineated and provided useful information concerning surgical planning. MR imaging provided a useful method of evaluating dogs with skull tumors. 相似文献

Three Mastiffs and 1 Great Dane were presented to the University of Wisconsin Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital for cervical myelopathy based on history and neurologic examination. All dogs were males and had progressive ataxia and tetraparesis. Degenerative arthritis of the articular facet joints was noted on survey spinal radiographs. Myelography disclosed lateral axial compression of the cervical spinal cord medial to the articular facets. Extradural compressive cystic structures adjacent to articular facets were identified on magnetic resonance imaging (1 dog). High protein concentration was the most important finding on cerebrospinal fluid analysis. Dorsal laminectomies were performed in all dogs for spinal cord decompression and cyst removal. Findings on cytologic examination of the cystic fluid were consistent with synovial fluid, and histopathologic results supported the diagnosis of synovial cysts. All dogs are ambulatory and 3 are asymptomatic after surgery with a follow-up time ranging from 1 to 8 months. This is the 1st report of extradural synovial cysts in dogs, and synovial cysts should be a differential diagnosis for young giant breed dogs with cervical myelopathy. 相似文献

The cervical spine of 21 dogs with clinical signs of cervical stenotic myelopathy was evaluated using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Spin echo T1, T2 and gradient echo T2 weighted images were obtained with a 1.5 Tesla magnet in 12 dogs and a 1.0 Tesla magnet in 9 dogs. Sagittal or parasagittal T1W and T2W images were helpful in determining the presence of spinal cord compression or degenerative disease of the articular processes. Transverse T1W and T2W images were the most useful for the identification of dorsolateral spinal cord compression secondary to soft tissue and ligament hypertrophy, as well as synovial cysts, associated with the articular processes. The MR imaging findings were consistent with the surgical findings in all 14 dogs that underwent surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging provided a safe, non-invasive method of evaluating the cervical spine in dogs suspected of having cervical stenotic myelopathy. Veterinary 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether there are therapeutically relevant changes in serum phenobarbital concentrations throughout a daily dosing interval in epileptic dogs receiving phenobarbital for > or = 3 weeks. DESIGN: Prospective study. ANIMALS: 33 epileptic dogs receiving phenobarbital. PROCEDURE: Serum phenobarbital concentrations were measured at 0 hour (trough), 3 hours, and 6 hours after oral administration of phenobarbital in epileptic dogs that had received phenobarbital twice daily for a minimum of 3 weeks. For each dog, trough, 3-hour, and 6-hour serum phenobarbital concentrations were evaluated to determine whether they were within the same therapeutic category (lower, middle, or upper end of the therapeutic range of 15 to 45 micrograms/ml), or whether there was a > 30% change in serum concentrations throughout the day. RESULTS: Ninety-one percent (30/33) of dogs had trough, 3-hour, and 6-hour serum phenobarbital concentrations in the same therapeutic category. Only 9% (3/33) of dogs had trough, 3-hour, and 6-hour serum concentrations in different therapeutic categories with a > 30% change in concentrations throughout the day. Significant differences were not detected among mean serum phenobarbital concentrations when comparing the trough, 3-hour, and 6-hour samples for all dogs. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: There is no therapeutically relevant change in serum phenobarbital concentrations throughout a daily dosing interval in most epileptic dogs. Therefore, timing is not important when collecting blood samples to measure serum phenobarbital concentrations in most epileptic dogs treated long-term with phenobarbital. 相似文献

The cervical spine of 27 dogs with cervical pain or cervical myelopathy was evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Spin echo T1, T2, and post-contrast T1 weighted imaging sequences were obtained with a 0.5 Tesla magnet in 5 dogs and a 1.5 Tesla magnet in the remaining 22 dogs. MRI provided for visualization of the entire cervical spine including the vertebral bodies, intervertebral discs, vertebral canal, and spinal cord. Disorders noted included intervertebral disc degeneration and/or protrusion (12 dogs), intradural extramedullary mass lesions (3 dogs), intradural and extradural nerve root tumors (3 dogs), hydromyelia/syringomyelia (1 dog), intramedullary ring enhancing lesions (1 dog), extradural synovial cysts (1 dog), and extradural compressive lesions (3 dogs). The MRI findings were consistent with surgical findings in 18 dogs that underwent surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging provided a safe, useful non-invasive method of evaluating the cervical spinal cord. 相似文献
