Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the CT features of Morel-Lavallée lesions (MLLs) in cats, focusing on their occurrence following trauma and their unique fluid characteristics.
- Three young cats with recurrent swelling after pelvic limb trauma were examined, all showing fluid-filled spaces between the dermis and deep fascia.
- MLLs can be easily misdiagnosed due to similar appearances to other injuries, posing risks like significant skin necrosis if not treated properly.
Article Synopsis
- Albuminocytological dissociation (ACD) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is seen as high protein levels with normal cell counts, indicating issues related to the blood-brain barrier or CSF flow.
- A study reviewed CSF data from 497 dogs with neurological issues, finding ACD in 16.5% of samples, with certain diseases showing higher rates of ACD.
- The most affected conditions included cranial nerve neuropathy, brain tumors, idiopathic vestibular disease, and brain vascular disease, shedding light on their CSF patterns and prevalence of ACD in dogs.
Case Summary: A 5-year-old male neutered domestic shorthair cat was presented to our referral centre with a 13 month history of chronic tenesmus due to malunion of the right caudal iliac body. Constipation and pelvic canal stenosis were initially addressed by the referring veterinarian with a right femoral head and neck excision and a right acetabulectomy without observable clinical improvement. At admission, abdominal radiographs revealed severe colonic distension and a narrowed pelvic canal caused by the right proximal femur.
