ABSTRACT.A retrospective study was performed on 48 dogs with primary encephalopathies, admitted during a 5-year period (2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012). Their age ranged from 2 months to 19 years, the majority being older than 10 years. Genders were almost equally distributed and most animals were purebreds or crossbreds. Onset of neurological signs was acute (11/48), subacute (12/48) or chronic (24/48). Lesion localization was focal in 31 and multifocal in 17 dogs. The cerebrum and brainstem were the most common focal localizations, while cerebellar lesions were recorded only in 4 dogs. An aetiologic diagnosis was established in 29 dogs and included primary (8/29) or metastatic neoplasia (2/29), encephalitis of variable etiology (9/29), congenital or inherited diseases (6/29), senile cognitive dysfunction (3/29) and ischaemic encephalopathy (1/29). In the remaining 19 dogs, aetiology of intracranial dysfunction was not determined; however a tentative diagnosis was speculated in eight of these cases and included breed specific and viral encephalitis, neoplasia, ischaemic encephalopathy and inherited disease. Most dogs were euthanized due to the debilitating neurological signs (24/48) or died from complications of their illness (13/48). Six animals are still alive with symptomatic medical treatment and supportive nursing care and 5 were lost to follow up.
ABSTRACT.A 2, 5 -year-old DSH female spayed cat was presented with a history of a tail base wound resulted from an abscess inflicted in a cat fight. The wound was managed initially as an open wound for 3 days and was covered with a bilateral rotation flap. One year after surgery the cat was reported to be in good health and the wound healed uneventfully.Keywords: cat, wound, bite injury, rotation flap, tail base ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ. Γάτα ηλικίας 2,5 ετών προσκομίστηκε με ιστορικό τραύματος στη βάση της ουράς ως αποτέλεσμα αποστήματος από διαμάχη με άλλες γάτες. Το τραύμα αντιμετωπίστηκε ως ανοικτό για 3 ημέρες μετά την προσκόμιση και ακολούθως καλύφθηκε με αμφοτερόπλευρο περιστρεφόμενο δερματικό κρημνό. Ένα χρόνο μετά την επέμβαση η γάτα είναι υγιής και το τραύμα έχει επουλωθεί χωρίς επιπλοκές.Λέξεις κλειδιά: γάτα, τραύμα, δήγμα, περιστρεφόμενος κρημνός, βάση ουράς Case Report Κλινικό περιστατικό
