Abstract: Cão macho, sem raça definida, de 3 anos de idade, foi atendido no Serviço de Neurologia por apresentar paraplegia de início súbito. Ao exame clínico-neurológico constatou-se uma síndrome medular toracolombar, estando os membros pélvicos com paralisia espástica e com ausência de sensibilidade dolorosa profunda. Enquanto os exames radiográficos não evidenciavam nenhuma anormalidade, as alterações do líquor indicavam necrose ou hemorragia medular. O RIFI para Toxoplasmose foi de 1:1024. O exame bacterológico do l… Show more

“…Aberrant migration of the worm to unusual anatomical structures results in atypical clinical signs [ 28 ]. Neurological deficits presented in the IS group are similar to previous findings of extradural and intraspinal Spirocerca lupi migration [ 30 , 53 ]. Although the reason for aberrant migration is still unclear [ 28 ], it possibly occurs via the intercostal arteries, originating from the thoracic aorta, through their spinal branches and into the extradural space [ 53 ].…”

“…SRMA is a systemic immune disorder characterized by inflammatory lesions of vessels, particularly in the cervical leptomeninges [ 27 ]. Spirocerca Lupi is a nematode parasite of dogs and other carnivores which affects mainly the esophagus and aorta [ 28 ] and aberrant migration to the spinal cord parenchyma has been previously reported [ 29 , 30 ]. The following hypotheses should be proven: (i) endocannabinoids can be measured in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in inflammatory diseases; (ii) the endocannabinoid system depends on the etiology of the inflammatory CNS disease and might influence the differential cell count of CSF; (iii) CB2 receptors are up-regulated in inflammatory lesions of SRMA and IS.…”
