A urinoma is an encapsulated extravasation of urine. In this case history report, the radiographic and ultrasonographic features of a urinoma in a dog are described. The dog presented with a palpable mass in the right flank which developed following ovariohysterectomy. Urinoma was considered when ultrasonographically, a sharply marginated, anechoic mass immediately caudal to the right kidney, ipsilateral hydroureter and hydronephrosis were detected. Extravasation of contrast medium was not seen during excretory urography. A fluid-filled retroperitoneal mass adjacent to a transected ureter was found at exploratory laparotomy. The diagnosis of urinoma (para-ureteral pseudocyst) and hydronephrosis was confirmed histopathologically.  相似文献

A 5-year-old dog was presented with a large caudal maxillary osteosarcoma, which was causing extreme pain on opening of the mouth. The mass was not resectable through a standard oral approach. This article describes the successful use of mandibular symphysiotomy to allow extensive caudal hemimaxillectomy to remove the mass and provide excellent postoperative quality of life for the dog.  相似文献

A nine-year-old dog was presented with sudden-onset ascites and a history of two previous syncopal episodes. Diagnostic tests pointed to a Budd-Chiari-like syndrome, with obstruction of the caudal vena cava between the liver and heart. The ascites was refractory to treatment and the dog was euthanased. On postmortem examination, a phaeochromocytoma of the left adrenal gland was present, with contiguous invasions into the caudal vena cava, extending cranially as far as the cavoatrial junction. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case of a Budd-Chiari-like syndrome associated with a phaeochromocytoma in a dog.  相似文献

Percutaneous nephropyelocentesis or nephropyelostomy was done on 20 anesthetized dogs of both sexes with the aid of fluoroscopy. The upper urinary tracts were visualized by the use of IV radiopaque contrast material and distended by application of an abdominal compression band positioned over the caudal abdomen. Renal pelvic urine was readily obtained by both procedures in each dog. Bloody urine was an infrequent result, and usually occured only after repeated attempts had been made to enter the renal pelvic lumen. To ascertain the degree of renal parenchymal damage caused by passage of the needle and catheter, dogs were euthanatized and necropsied on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, and 14th days after the procedure was done. Repair of the tissue damage was rapid and the lesions were difficult to visualize grossly by the 14th day.  相似文献

Nephrotomography and ultrasonography were used in 11 dogs with hyperadrenocroticism to assess the value of these techniques for the localization of biochemically diagnosed hyperfunctioning adrenocortical tumors. Both techniques enabled accurate localization of a unilateral adrenal mass in each of the dogs. Cross-sectional diameters of the masses ranged from 1 to 4 cm. In 1 dog, expansion of tumor into the caudal vena cava was revealed by caudal venacavography and ultrasonography. Mineralization in the tumor mass in 2 dogs was easily recognized by nephrotomography, but not by ultrasonography. Paracostal laparotomy confirmed the presence of an adrenocortical tumor in each dog, and expansion of tumor into the caudal vena cava in 1 dog. Cross-sectional diameters of the tumors ranged from 1.2 to 4.5 cm and corresponded well with cross-sectional measurements by nephrotomography and ultrasonography. It was concluded that nephrotomography and ultrasonography have similar diagnostic accuracies for the detection and localization of hyperfunctioning adrenocortical tumors.  相似文献

A three‐year‐old, female neutered Weimaraner was presented with a history of neck pain and tetraparesis. MRI revealed an extradural mass at the level of C3 vertebra, which was thought to be a spinal abscess, and the dog was scheduled for surgical exploration the following morning. Overnight the dog developed an exaggerated ventilatory pattern, with paradoxical inward movement of the thorax on inspiration. Arterial blood gas analysis revealed respiratory acidosis and ventilator support was initiated to prevent excessive respiratory fatigue. During mechanical ventilation, anaesthesia was maintained using a propofol target‐controlled infusion system and, subsequently, the dog produced bright green urine in the urine collection system. Although previously documented in humans, this appears to be the first report of green urine in a dog following propofol use.  相似文献

A large caudodorsal mediastinal mass was identified in a dog which had been presented for vomiting and anorexia. A few weeks later, the dog developed ascites and hindlimb oedema. Radiography showed that the caudodorsal mediastinal mass was compressing the caudal vena cava, probably inducing passive congestion of the liver. At postmortem examination, the mass was diagnosed as a large oesophageal leiomyoma. To the authors' knowledge, an oesophageal tumour leading to compression of the caudal vena cava associated with passive congestion of the liver has not been described previously in dogs. Secondary signs relating to the oesophageal mass appeared to be more prominent than the digestive signs. Causes of passive congestion of the liver and the differential diagnoses for a caudodorsal mediastinal mass are discussed.  相似文献

A 9-year-old dog with spontaneous ascites was found to have hepatic vein distension and a tortuous vena cava on abdominal ultrasound. In right lateral recumbency, the caudal vena cava crossed the diaphragm and became kinked before entering into the right atrium. Following this observation, we performed an experimental study in a normal dog to determine whether kinking of the caudal vena cava could be the result and not the cause of ascites. Ascites was induced using warm saline injected through a needle inserted into the abdominal cavity. Venograms were collected from different body positions, under four conditions: before and after a total of one, two and 3 liters of saline had been injected. Caudal vena cava kinking was observed in the experimental dog after 2 liters of fluid had been injected. Vena cava obstruction may cause ascites, but we found that sometimes caudal vena cava kinking can be the result and not the cause of the peritoneal effusion.  相似文献

A 1-year-old male Cairn Terrier was evaluated for chronic coughing that was aggravated by eating or drinking. Radiography revealed an esophageal diverticulum, regional megaesophagus, and focal interstitial densities in the right caudal and middle lung lobes. Using fluoroscopy and contrast radiography, contrast material was seen to accumulate in the diverticulum and to reflux into the right middle, caudal, and accessory bronchi. Radiographic diagnosis was bronchoesophageal fistula. Via right eighth intercostal space thoracotomy, the abnormal connection between esophagus and caudal lobe of the right lung was identified, the lobe was resected, and the esophagus was closed. Histologic examination of the connecting tissue revealed a lining of stratified epithelium, with the superficial layer being predominantly ciliated columnar epithelium. Several findings led to the conclusion that the fistula was a congenital lesion, arising from aberrant formation of the respiratory tract from the embryologic digestive tract. Histologic examination revealed smooth muscle and lack of inflammation in tissue surrounding the fistula, which are criteria for identifying congenital bronchoesophageal fistula in human patients. The dog was young and did not have a history of esophageal foreign bodies. Postoperative complications were not encountered, and 9 months later, the dog was reported to be eating dry dog food without coughing. Congenital and acquired bronchoesophageal fistulas in dogs are reported infrequently. Furthermore, 2 of 12 previously reported bronchoesophageal fistulas in dogs, one of which was considered congenital, developed in Cairn Terriers.  相似文献

A 13-year-old, 25-kg, castrated male border collie was referred for evaluation of pollakiuria, stranguria, and a decreased urine stream. A calcified periurethral mass near the caudal aspect of the os penis was identified on survey abdominal radiographs. A retrograde contrast urethrocystogram demonstrated that the mass was compressing the penile urethra. The mass was surgically resected. A histopathological diagnosis of an ossifying fibroma of the os penis was made. This report describes an atypical presentation of a rare tumor, an ossifying fibroma, that caused a urinary obstruction in a male dog. A review of the incidence, histopathological features, and behavior of ossifying fibromas is included.  相似文献

This investigation was initiated to develop a reliable and simple computerized tomography (CT) method for evaluating the morphometry of the cranial cavity (CC) and caudal cranial fossa in the dog. We obtained linear, area, and volume measurements of the entire CC and the caudal fossa compartment in 24 dogs, using transverse and reformatted sagittal and dorsal CT images. The ratios between the CC and the caudal fossa volumes were calculated, as were the ratios between the CC and caudal fossa midsagittal (MS) areas. There were statistically significant correlations between absolute volume data and certain linear measurements, a positive correlation between volume ratio and weight, and significant differences in absolute volume values and volume ratio between males and females. The volume ratio, MS area, and certain linear measurements included in this study can be considered as accurate parameters to evaluate the relative size of the CC to caudal fossa in the dog. Such quantitative measures may be useful in systematically characterizing Chiari-type malformations and other developmental anomalies in the dog.  相似文献

An 11‐year‐old neutered male Alaskan Malamute mixed‐breed dog was presented with a complaint of polyuria/polydipsia (PU/PD), weight loss, tachypnea, regurgitation, and a previous history of nontreated osteosarcoma of the right distal radius, diagnosed 21 months prior. On physical examination, an abdominal mass was palpated. The abdominal mass was aspirated and cytologically diagnosed as a neuroendocrine tumor, suspected to be a pheochromocytoma. Laboratory examination revealed a mild anemia and thrombocytopenia, markedly elevated ATP and ALP activities, and moderate hypercalcemia. A low‐dose dexamethasone suppression test and endogenous adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) concentration were compatible with pituitary hyperadrenocorticism. On urinalysis, proteinuria was noted as well as a high urine metanephrine/creatinine ratio, consistent with a diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. The dog was treated with supportive care and euthanized 6 months later due to decreasing quality of life. On necropsy, an extra‐adrenal pheochromocytoma (paraganglioma) was diagnosed in the caudal abdomen, and a pituitary adenoma and an osteosarcoma of the right distal radius were confirmed.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine (1) the inter- and intraobserver variability in measurement of tibial plateau angle (TPA), (2) whether this inter- and intraobserver variability is related to the characteristics of the dog (age, size, and amount of degenerative joint disease [DJD]) and the experience level of the observer, and (3) the extent of any relationship between interobserver variability of TPA and the variability of the observers' selection of the specific cranial and caudal points along the tibial plateau. STUDY DESIGN: Examination of tibial radiographs of 40 dogs clinically affected with a cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL)-deficient stifle joint. METHODS: Eleven different observers, divided into 3 groups based on their level of experience with the tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) technique, measured the TPA on all 40 radiographs on 5 different occasions. The degree of DJD present in the stifle joint was independently graded as an overall measure and then again as it specifically related to the cranial and caudal points along the tibial plateau. The total observed variabilities of the TPA were assessed with reference to interobserver differences, intraobserver differences, and among the groups of observers with respect to the different dog characteristics. Finally, the specific points selected on the radiographs were reexamined to determine whether any variability was present in cranial and caudal point selection. RESULTS: The interobserver standard deviation of the TPA measurements for each dog was 0.8 degrees, and the intraobserver standard deviation was 1.5 degrees. The TPA measurements obtained by the 11 observers differed significantly from each other (P <.001); however, there was no significant difference of TPA among the different groups of observers (P =.67). There was no significant correlation observed between either the inter- or intraobserver variability and the dog characteristics. Specific point data and their relationship to the various variables of dog characteristics and inter- and intraobserver TPA variability revealed significant correlations only to the amount of DJD present at the caudal point (P =.001). CONCLUSIONS: Interobserver variation, but no significant group variation, was present. Overall DJD did not appear to be related to the variability in TPA angle measurement. Most of the interobserver variability was attributable to variability in horizontal point selection at both the cranial and caudal points and vertical point selection at the caudal point. It appears that degenerative changes that specifically obscure the points on the tibial plateau, especially at the caudal point, are responsible for most of the interobserver variation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The desired postoperative TPA of 5 degrees is dependent on a precise initial measure of TPA preoperatively. This study indicates that there is statistically significant interobserver variability with measurement of TPA, which, therefore, can result in a similar amount of variability with the final tibial plateau slope obtained postoperatively.  相似文献

Orbital exenteration accompanied by wide eyelid excision in the cat and dog may leave a defect that cannot be closed in a primary fashion. This report describes the use of a caudal auricular axial pattern flap to effect closure following orbital exenteration in three cats and one dog. The most common complication was distal flap necrosis, which necessitated a second surgery in two patients.  相似文献

A 16‐year‐old, spayed, female poodle dog was presented for evaluation of tenesmus, with the ability to attract male dogs and a willingness to mate. The dog had undergone an ovariohysterectomy when it was 7 years old. Haematological and serum biochemistry analyses demonstrated leucocytosis and a mild uraemia. A vaginal smear was predominantly made up of superficial cells, accounting for at least 80% of the cells. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a heterogeneous multicystic mass at the caudal abdomen and two masses with anechoic areas adjacent to the caudal pole of each kidney. A midline exploratory laparotomy identified a uterine mass and residual ovaries that were surgically excised. Histopathological examination of the mass demonstrated that it was a leiomyoma. The left ovary had a cystic structure and the right ovary had a papillary cystic adenoma. Seven months after the surgery, the owner reported that the dog was clinically normal. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first reported case of a uterine leiomyoma after an incomplete ovariohysterectomy in the dog.  相似文献

Hepatic malignant mesenchymoma was diagnosed in a dog with a history of gradual abdominal distension of 2 months' duration. The tumor was polycystic and attached to the caudal border of the left lateral liver lobe. The dog was euthanatized 16 weeks after surgical excision. Necropsy revealed tumor metastasis throughout the liver.  相似文献
