Primary cranial mediastinal hemangiosarcomas are uncommon tumors. A 30-kg, 2-year-old, intact female German shepherd was presented for evaluation of cachexia and respiratory distress of a few days' duration. Lateral radiographic projection of the thorax revealed significant pleural effusion. Computed tomography revealed a cranial mediastinal mass effect adjacent to the heart. On surgical explor...

Pott puffy tumor (PPT) is an abscess of the subperiosteal os, frontalis. Frontalis often found in cranial osteomyelitis. Cranial osteomyelitis inflammatory process bones, mainly caused by pyogenic organisms. The most common cause developing countries paranasal sinusitis. One causes PPT infection frontal sinus. Intracranial complications are PPT, one which a cerebral lobe. In this case report, p...

The outcome of temporal lobectomy performed for seizure control is improved by preoperative identification of structural lesions. We used cranial CT, modified to improve visualization of mesial temporal structures, as a means of preoperative evaluation in 48 patients with partial complex seizures. The axial views, parallel to the temporal fossa, improved visualization of five lesions, including...

UNLABELLED Both limb and cranial motor functions are adversely impacted by Parkinson's disease (PD). While current pharmacological and surgical interventions are effective in alleviating general limb motor symptoms of PD, they have failed to provide significant benefit for cranial motor functions. This suggests that the neuropathologies mediating limb and cranial motor impairments in PD may dif...

Three patients with diffuse idiopathic cranial pachymeningitis with predominant involvement of the tentorium and falx are reported. Progressively increasing headaches were the usual symptoms, along with ataxia and various cranial nerve palsies. CT in all cases and MR imaging in two cases detected isolated thickened dura mater. In one case, MR depicted dural involvement as a very large, hypointe...

A patellar luxation and concomitant cranial cruciate ligament rupture is a common pathology in dogs. Diagnosis based on clinical evidence of stifle joint instability. However, diagnostic imaging required to assess the number skeletal deformities signs Surgical options include both soft tissue osseous techniques, although, most cases, combination multiple procedures necessary correct restore sta...

Raeder described five patients with mixed features of trigeminal nerve pathology and oculosympathetic impairment, with or without other cranial nerve lesions. This constellation of clinical features drew the original author’s attention to the paratrigeminal region as a likely site for the causative lesion in this syndrome. An analysis of the anatomy of the oculosympathetic innervation supports ...

This report describes the clinical, macroscopic, histopathological and immunohistochemical features of a spontaneous multicentric extraskeletal sarcoma in an adult male African hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris). It also provides a succinct up-to-date review on neoplasia in this species. On autopsy examination, main gross findings included a moderately demarcated cranial mass and a multilobulated,...
