Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of those non-invasive proceedings, which allows to measure at the same time the morphologic and functional specificities of the brain, therefore it can help to understand the causes of epilepsy. As far as the authors know, in the literature there is no such...

Background: Positron emission tomography (PET) is increasingly being used as an imaging modality for clinical and research applications in veterinary medicine. Amyloid PET has become a useful tool for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD) in humans, by accurately identifying amyloid-beta (Aβ)...

An unusual form of cerebellocortical degeneration called cerebellar granuloprival degeneration was diagnosed in a four-month-old Chihuahua. The dog had a two-week history of progressive signs of cerebellar dysfunction, including a wide-based stance, intention tremors and bilateral absence of menace ...

A form of hereditary cerebellar ataxia has recently been described in the Norwegian Buhund dog breed. This study aimed to identify the genetic cause of the disease. Whole-genome sequencing of two Norwegian Buhund siblings diagnosed with progressive cerebellar ataxia was carried out, and sequences...

The aim of this work was to document the value of morphometric analysis in quantifying neuronal loss in canine cerebellar degenerative disease. Measurements of the cerebellar cell populations in a dog affected by severe cortico-cerebellar degeneration (CCD) were compared with those of an...

Cerebellar abiotrophy was observed in a female American Staffordshire terrier aged 6 years. The bitch showed tremors, weakness, ataxia as main clinical signs at the time of visit the Veterinary Hospital (FVET-UdelaR), and these signs were progressed slowly for 6 months. The dog was euthanatized due ...

Background: Neonatal cerebellar cortical degeneration is a neurodegenerative disease described in several canine breeds including the Beagle. Affected Beagles are unable to ambulate normally from the onset of walking and the main pathological finding includes Purkinje cell loss with swollen...

To evaluate the diagnostic value of Gd-DTPA enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in canine infected with different concentration of bacterial meningitis, eighteen 1 year old native dogs were randomly divided into 4 groups, 3 bacterial meningitis model groups with 5 dogs in each. The models of canine ...

In this case report, a nine-month-old male Azawakh dog was observed for ataxia, uncoordinated movements, and difficulties in walking and standing, intensive head tremors, trouble evacuating and eating. It was determined to have mild cerebellar hypoplasia in MR imaging and symptomatic treatment was...

In human medicine, central nervous system (CNS) concussion is defined as a transient neurological dysfunction following a traumatic event, without evidence of structural abnormalities of the affected region on advanced diagnostic imaging. Depending on the anatomical region involved, three forms of...
