Clinical, magnetic resonance imaging, histopathological features, treatment options and outcome of spinal ependymoma in dogs: 8 cases (2011-2022).

Objectives: This study aims to report on the clinical magnetic resonance imaging, histological features, treatment options and outcomes of spinal ependymomas in dogs.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective evaluation of medical records from dogs histologically confirmed spinal ependymomas with clinical presentations, magnetic resonance imaging findings, histological aspects, treatment options and outcomes.

Results: Eight dogs presented with acute to subacute onset of para- or tetraparesis.

Case report: Evaluation of head trauma in a tawny owl () with advanced imaging diagnostic, FVEP and BAER test.

An adult pet tawny owl () presented to a veterinary hospital at Parma University with a history of head trauma. After a critical care protocol including thermal, oxygen and fluid support aimed at stabilizing the patient, a neurological examination was performed. During neurological evaluation, marked lethargy and an inability to rise from a recumbent position was noted.

Canine Cerebral Intravascular Lymphoma: Neuropathological and Immunohistochemical Findings.

Intravascular lymphoma (IVL) is a rare angiotropic large-cell lymphoma in which neoplastic lymphocytes proliferate within the lumina of small blood vessels in the absence of a primary extravascular mass or leukemia. This study included 10 cases of canine IVL restricted to the CNS. Dogs had an average age of 8 years and neurological signs mainly referred to brain involvement such as depression, seizures, and ambulatory deficits.
