MRI Prognostic Factors in Dogs with Meningoencephalitis of Unknown Origin (MUO)

In this live webinar, Dr. Rita Goncalves discusses her recent publication which investigates the prognostic utility of MRI in determining the survival and potential for relapse in dogs with MUO. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for diagnosing MUO in dogs. Identifying MRI features associated with the outcome would be very helpful. So far, mass effect, loss of identifiable cerebral sulci (effacement), and foramen magnum herniation have been linked to an increased risk of mortality, but not with long-term outcomes. This study highlights the MRI based prognostic factors in a group of dogs with MUO.
