Hippocampal size did not differ between epileptic and non-epileptic dogs using volumetric and subjective methods

Abstract Hippocampal changes in epilepsy may manifest as hippocampal atrophy/sclerosis. A recent human study suggests that the demonstration of volume loss is more reliable using quantitative evaluation methods. The aim present was to obtain volumetric data both epileptic and healthy dogs, compare volumes groups, subjective assessment. Volumetric measurements hippocampi, lateral ventricles hemispheria were performed 31 15 control dogs. There a positive association between body weight hemispheric volume, well ipsilateral volume. no significant correlation age any measured brain structures. statistically difference group group. two groups for hippocampus/hemispherium ratio or asymmetric not identified. An extrapolated based on possible this population.
