  • Anatomic, histopathologic, and echocardiographic features in a Dog with an atypical pulmonary valve stenosis with a fibrous band of tissue and a patent ductus arteriosus.
    Acta veterinaria Scandinavica, 2017
    Co-Authors: Hakyoung Yoon, Jaehwan Kim, Sang-soep Nahm, Kidong Eom
    Abstract:

    Congenital pulmonary valve stenosis and patent ductus arteriosus are common congenital heart defects in Dogs. However, concurrence of atypical pulmonary valve stenosis and patent ductus arteriosus is uncommon. This report describes the anatomic, histopathologic, and echocardiographic features in a Dog with concomitant pulmonary valve stenosis and patent ductus arteriosus with atypical pulmonary valve dysplasia that included a fibrous band of tissue. A 1.5-year-old intact female Chihuahua Dog weighing 3.3 kg presented with a continuous grade VI cardiac murmur, poor exercise tolerance, and an intermittent cough. Echocardiography indicated pulmonary valve stenosis, a thickened dysplastic valve without annular hypoplasia, and a type IIA patent ductus arteriosus. The pulmonary valve was thick line-shaped in systole and dome-shaped towards the right ventricular outflow tract in diastole. The Dog suffered a fatal cardiac arrest during an attempted balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty. Necropsy revealed pulmonary valve dysplasia, commissural fusion, and incomplete opening and closing of the pulmonary valve because of a fibrous band of tissue causing adhesion between the right ventricular outflow tract and the dysplastic intermediate cusp of the valve. A fibrous band of tissue between the right ventricular outflow track and the pulmonary valve should be considered as a cause of pulmonary valve stenosis. Pulmonary valve stenosis and patent ductus arteriosus can have conflicting effects on diastolic and systolic dysfunction, respectively. Therefore, beta-blockers should always be used carefully, particularly in patients with a heart defect where there is concern about left ventricular systolic function.

  • ventral fixation of atlantoaxial joint under fluoroscopic guidance using screws in a Chihuahua Dog
    한국임상수의학회지, 2008
    Co-Authors: Jaehoon Lee, Heetaek Yang, Wojong Yang, Daijung Chung, Eunhee Kang, Kidong Eom, Chibong Choi, Hwaseok Chang, Hwiyool Kim
    Abstract:

    A 5-year-old Chihuahua Dog was evaluated for a tetraparesis. The Dog was presented with a non-ambulatory tetraparesis and neck pain. Radiography demonstrated an atlantoaxial (AA) subluxation and increased distance between the dorsal arch of the C1 and the dorsal spinous process of the C2. The AA joint was fixed with ventral transarticular fixation using two screws under fluoroscopic guidance. Neck brace was applied during 3 weeks post-operation. After 4 weeks, the Dog was fully ambulatory with improved neurological function. Postoperative radiographs confirmed reduction of the luxation and no migration of screws. The Dog showed complete resolution of clinical signs without signs of recurrence till 4 months after operation. Proper angulations of screws provided under fluoroscopic guidance, enabled adequate stabilization of the AA joints using ventral transarticular screw fixation which improved neurologic outcome of the patient.

  • Absence seizures with myoclonic features in a juvenile Chihuahua Dog. Epileptic Disord. 2010;12(2):138–41.Submit your manuscript at www.biomedcentral.com/submit

    Co-Authors: Roberto Poma, Ayako Ochi, Miguel A. Cortez
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACT – Long-term video-EEG was recorded for an eight-month-old Chihuahua Dog with recurrent episodes of altered behaviour associated with head and nose twitching. Each episode lasted one to two seconds, multiple times per day before treatment. Ictal EEG showed generalised bilaterally synchronous 4 Hz spike-and-wave complexes during the “absence-like” event, along with rhythmically correlated head and nose twitching. We present video documentation of such attacks and discuss their similarities to human epilepsy with myoclonic absences. [Published with video sequences] Key words: canine, myoclonic absence epilepsy, video-EEG, seizures Epilepsy is the most common neuro-logical disorder in Dogs, with an incidence that ranges from 0.5 % to 5.7 % (Chandler, 2006). The current classification of canine seizures is mainly based on seizure phenotypes
