Midline myelotomy of the clinically normal canine spinal cord.
Clinically normal dogs underwent dorsal laminectomy, durotomy, and full-thickness midline myelotomy between either the 1st and 2nd lumbar vertebrae or the 3rd and 4th lumbar vertebrae. The myelotomy was 1 1/2 vertebral bodies long and was performed with a microbalance spatula. Neurologic and histopathologic changes were recorded. Full-thickness midline myelotomy done by this technique was found to cause severe necrosis of spinal gray matter.
Lung lobe torsion in a cat with chronic feline asthma.
Lung lobe torsion, although rare in cats, can be seen as a sequela to chronic respiratory disease. Clinical signs may include lethargy, coughing, hemoptysis, and respiratory distress. Lung lobe torsion may be diagnosed using radiography, ultrasonography, contrast bronchography, bronchoscopy, or thoracoscopy. Stabilization with fluids, oxygen, and supportive care followed by thoracotomy and lobectomy of the affected lobe(s) are necessary for a successful outcome. Diagnosis and treatment of lung lobe torsion is described in a 12.5-year-old cat with a history of feline asthma.
