Summary

Descripción general del contenido del recurso.

Los astrocitomas anaplásticos son tumores muy raramente reconocidos en la médula espinal en caninos. Una perra Blood Hound, castrada, de 7 años de edad fue presentada para evaluación de una leve claudicación del miembro pelviano derecho. Ningún otro hallazgo significativo fue notado en el examen físico como así tampoco en el neuro-ortopédico. La severidad de la claudicación progresó rápidamente al punto de que el animal no podía soportar peso sobre la pierna afectada. Severas deficiencias neurológicas y atrofia muscular fueron observadas. La perra fue sacrificada a pedido de los dueños. La evaluación postmortem y estudios histopatológicos revelaron dos tumores en los segmentos lumbar y sacro de la médula espinal. Los tumores fueron diagnosticados como astrocitomas anaplásticos. Anaplastic astrocytomas are extremely uncommon tumors of the spinal cord in dogs. A 7 year old, female spayed Blood Hound dog was presented for evaluation of mild right rear leg lameness. The lameness was strictly unilateral with no other significant abnormalities in the physical and neuro-orthopedic examinations. The severity of the lameness progressed rapidly to be non-weight bearing with severe conscious proprioceptive deficits and muscle atrophy. The dog was euthanized at the owner's request. Post-mortem examination and histopathological analysis revealed a multifocal anaplastic astrocytoma arising from the lumbar-sacral segments of the spinal cord. Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias
