“…According to the published literature in veterinary medicine, the median age of dogs diagnosed with CPP is 5 years (ranging from 3 to 14 years) (3,4,15,(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23). Our patient is the youngest dog diagnosed with CPP.…”

A 2-year-old male entire Cane Corso was presented for investigations into a 1-week history of ambulatory paraparesis and pelvic limb ataxia gradually deteriorating. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed intraventricular space-occupying lesions affecting the fourth ventricle and lateral apertures and intradural-extramedullary space-occupying lesions at the level of C7 vertebra, L4-L5, and L7-S1 intervertebral disk spaces. Due to poor quality of life, the patient was euthanized. A post-mortem examination revealed partially encapsulated, multifocally infiltrative, and moderately cellular neoplastic masses. The histological description was similar for all masses. The cells appeared cuboidal with round central nuclei and a moderate amount of eosinophilic cytoplasm and were arranged almost exclusively in single-layered papilliform patterns supported by a fibrovascular stroma. Mitoses were rarely observed (1/2.37 mm2). The primary neoplasm was morphologically most consistent with a choroid plexus papilloma despite drop metastases. This is the first report of a histologically confirmed primary ventricular choroid plexus papilloma causing disseminated MRI-apparent intraventricular and spinal drop metastases.

This systematic review aimed to assess the effect of prophylactic fenestration (PF) on the recurrence of thoracolumbar (TL) intervertebral disc (IVD) disease in dogs. Three online databases were searched (Web of Science, MEDLINE via PubMed, SCOPUS), 115 relevant studies were thoroughly examined by the authors, 29 of which met the pre-defined inclusion criteria for this systematic review. Data about the initial treatment, the performance of PF, the incidence of recurrence, and the site of recurrence were extracted. Most of the studies were deemed to have serious to moderate risk of bias. Out of 5457 dogs, 1264 underwent prophylactic fenestration. A total of 504 cases of suspected or confirmed recurrence were recorded, in which 164 (32.54% of total recurrences and 11.02% of PF cases) were in dogs treated with PF. In order to perform quantitative analysis for the recurrence odds, we conducted a meta-analysis. Five studies were included that met the inclusion criteria. Despite a large number of relevant publications, the quality of the evidence they provide is low. This prevented us from reaching a definitive conclusion on the prophylactic effect of fenestration on recurrence in dogs surgically treated for TL IVDH.

“…Granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis can sometimes occur as a primary intramedullary spinal cord lesion. We can also encounter intramedullary metastases in the spinal cord of dogs with systemic malignancy (Waters and Hayden 1990;Le Couter and Withrow 2007;Lipitz et al 2011;Sloma et al 2015;Saitoh et al 2021).…”

A 5-year-old intact female Shih Tzu was presented with acute onset of hind leg paralysis. The neurologic examination revealed severe T3-L3 myelopathy. The differential diagnoses included degenerative, anomalous, traumatic, inflammatory, vascular, metabolic, and neoplastic changes. The results of the paraclinical examinations and diagnostic imaging narrowed the list of differential diagnoses and, along with the patient's deteriorating condition, led to the owner's decision to euthanise the dog. The histologic findings of the spinal cord specimens indicated a tumour of the blood vessels formed by the proliferation of endothelial cells, which may present as either capillary or cavernous structures. In this case, the tumour was a capillary-type haemangiosarcoma. The primary site of proliferation could not be determined in this case because no mass formation was noted while performing the necropsy.
