Bone Pathology - some taken from Linde's deck (AH) Flashcards
Other names for Osteopetrosis
aka: Metaphyseal dyslasia, Marble bone dz.
Spp. associated with Osteopetrosis?
Angus cattle = inherited
Pathology of Osteopetrosis?
Failure of osteoclasts to resorb the primary spongiosa –> accumulation of bondy spicules in marrow spaces.
What can Osteopetrosis lead to?
Aplastic anemia
Other name for Congenital Cortical Hyperostosis?
Diaphyseal dysplasia
Spp. associated with Congenital Cortical Hyperostosis?
Inherited in pigs
Patho of Congenital Cortical Hyperostosis?
Perioteal bone formation on long bones. Deposition on radiating trebeculae –> increase in diameter.
What other condition is associated with Congenital Cortical Hyperostosis?
Edema due to blockage of lymph
Other names for Craniomandiblar Osteopathy?
Scottie jaw, lion jaw, westie jaw.
Spp. associated with CMO?
inheritied in west highland white terriers = dogs
Path of CMO?
Abnormal periosteal bone formation, irregular resportion –> irregular thickening of mandible/occipital/temporal bones. Tympanic bullae often severely affected. Less so in the limbs. Appears at 4-7 mo. Can regress, self limiting.
Where is the primary lesion of Chondrodystrophy?
1* lesion in growth cartilage.
Where else can lesions of Chondrodystrophy be found?
Physis (epi/meta). Articular epiphyseal complex. Epiphyseal cartilage.
What spp. is associated with disproportionate dwarfism resulting from Chondrodystrophy?
Calves - get short legs with normal head.
Types of Disproportionate Dwarfism?
Deter type (bulldog claves) Telemark type. Short headed type.
What are the lesions of Telemark type Disproportionate Dwarfism?
Bracygnathia, cleft palate, protruding tongue, short neck.
Are the lesions associated with Osteiochondrosis focal or multifocal?
focal and or multifocal . Both can be observed.
Path of Osteochondrosis?
Failure / delay of endochondral ossification = cartilage retention –> increase in cartilage.
Etiology of Osteochondrosis?
secondary to anything that decreases vascular flow to cartilage (infarct). Idiopathic. Increase in Zn –> decrease in Ca. Increased calcium.
Lesions of Osteochondrosis?
dyplasia, wedge shaped, necrosis, hemorrhage, mineral debris.
Are lesions of Osteocondritis dessecans (OCD) focal or multifocal?
Non Focal. Multifocal dysplasia only.
Path of Osteochondritis Dessecans?
Dysplasia at the AE complex –> fracture of articular cartilage –> cartilage/ osteochondral flap –> breaks off –> “mouse joint”
What is cervical verterbral myelopathy (CVM) also known as?
Wobbler syndrome
What is cervical verterbral myelopathy (CVM) secondary to?
Compression/ irritation of the spinal chord.
2 types of spinal chord compression?
Static or Dynamic (both lead to CVM)
What animals are affected by static compression?
Horses 1-4yrs = Cervical static stenosis. Dogs = ccervical spondylomyelopathies.
Where do horses get static compression? What does this cause?
C5-7. Hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum
What animals get Dynamic compression?
Horses 8-18mo = cervical vertebral instability
Where do horses get Dynamic compression?
C3-5
With what is Dynamic compression associated?
Rapid growth. Genetic
what is another name for Hemivertebrae?
Butterfly vertebrae
Path of Hemivertebrae?
partial development of vertebrae –> compression of spinal chord.
In what spp. is Hemivertebrae desired?
Bulldogs, Pugs, Boston Terriers.
Etiology of Growth Arrest Lines?
Viral (BVD, Canine distemper) Lead Toxicit (lead line)
Pathogenesis of Osteoporosis?
Atrophy → Increased resorption or decreased formation
Causes of Osteoporosis?
- Low Ca → high PTH
- Low Cu
- High Vit A.
- Adriamycin
- Fluoride
- Glucocorticoids
3 Lesions of Osteoporosis?
Cortical bone → decreased thickness, high porosity Trabecular bone → decreased thickness Medullary cavity → ENLARGED
Pathogenesis of Rickets (Rachitic Rosary)
- Young animals
- failure of mineralization of endochondrial ossification
- Excess osteoid @ epiphysis
