CSF Collection Complication in Dogs - Clinical and MRI Characteristics

Dr Cecilia Danciu presents her latest publication on the clinical and imaging characteristics of CSF collection complications in 11 dogs. Complications associated with CSF collection have been reported in dogs and include progressive myelomalacia and hematomyelia. A retrospective study of 30 dogs with intracranial neoplasia documented a complication secondary to CSF collection in 17% of the dogs, with the reported complications including coma, stupor and apnea. Information on the rate of major complications arising as a result of CSF collection in dogs with other neurological disorders, potential risk factors for such complications, including neurological examination findings and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features are discussed in this webinar summarizing the publication.
