Acute, Unilateral Transverse Sinus Occlusion During Craniectomy in Seven Dogs With Space‐Occupying Intracranial Disease

Abstract

Acute, unilateral transverse sinus occlusion during craniectomy can be used to increased surgical exposure to the caudal fossa of the brain without increased risk of increasing ICP.

Craniotomy with Cystoperitoneal Shunting for Treatment of Intracranial Arachnoid Cysts in Dogs

“…It has been previously shown that unilateral transverse sinus occlusion in dogs does not result in increased ICP. 19,20 Sacrificing the transverse sinus in our dogs allowed extension of the craniotomy defect beyond the nuchal crest, providing excellent exposure to the IAC. The wide craniotomy should provide immediate relief of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and provide a sustained increase in intracranial compliance.…”

In vitro growth and differentiation of canine olfactory bulb-derived neural progenitor cells under variable culture conditions

“…With a brain that is much closer in size and architecture to the human brain, the dog represents a relevant model for NPC transplantation. Moreover, surgical approaches to the olfactory bulb of dogs have been developed, thus there is potential to perform ex vivo gene therapy experiments using autologous transplantation (Bagley et al, 1997;Glass et al, 2000).…”

Ventral Surgical Approach to the Caudal Brain Stem in Dogs

“…An extensive literature search revealed very few reports of clinical neurosurgical procedures involving the brain stem in dogs 10,21,22 . The few we found do not allow access to the ventral medulla and pons.…”

“…An extensive literature search revealed very few reports of clinical neurosurgical procedures involving the brain stem in dogs. 10,21,22 The few we found do not allow access to the ventral medulla and pons. The aim of this study was to develop a safe, clinically applicable neurosurgical procedure that allowed access to the ventrocaudal brain stem in dogs.…”
