Cranial Flashcards
Shinn, vet surg 2021
Feasibility and accuracy of 3D printed patient-specific skull contoured brain biopsy guides
- How close to the intended target were needle biopsy guides?
-What was the principle difference between MRI based or CT based guides?
-2.7mm
-CT guides fitted better. No difference in accuracy for biopsy was detected.
Cloquell, vet surg 2021

-what was the principle sign of intracranial hypovolemia?
neurological deterioration post operatively.
Bruckner Vetsurg 2020
Laparoscopic repositioning of an obstructed ventriculoperitoneal shunt catheter with laparoscopy-assisted partial omentectomy and omentopexy
- What conditions must be met for laparopscopy with insufflation to be considered in this case?
- What positioning should be avoided?
-The ventriculoperitoneal shunt must have a valve.

Packer, vet surg 2020
Onscreen-guided resection of extra-axial and intra-axial forebrain masses through registration of a variable suction tissue resection device with a neuronavigation system.
-what percentage of cases had total resection?
-what factor limited absolute reliance on neuronavigation?
-33% (2/6)
-risk of brain shift
Gutman, JSAP 2022
Clinical use of a new frameless optical neuronavigation system for brain biopsies: 10 cases (2013–2020)
-what was the percentage absolute diagnostic yield, based on histopathological diagnosis?
-what percentage of dogs showed neurological deterioration?
-74%
-30% (3/10)
Alla, JSAP 2022
Surgical removal of a sewing needle penetrated through the foramen lacerum into a canine brain
-what muscles had to be retracted to access the foramen lacerum?
- what complication was noted?
-digastricus and hyoglossus
-transient horners syndrome
Hicks, JSAP 2020
Delayed asymptomatic progressive intraventricular pneumocephalus in a dog following craniotomy
-what technique was used to re-seal the frontal craniotomy?
-replacement of gel-foam, replacement of skull and bone wax as seal.
Kent, JFMS 2020
A lateral approach to the feline cerebellar fossa: case report and identification of an external landmark for the tentorium ossium
-describe the external landmark
Between the attachment of the tentorium ossium and nuchal crest is an area appropriate for craniectomy in cats. The external landmark is defined by a line where the caudal aspect of the convexity of the cranium transitions to a flat surface in the caudal aspect of the temporal fossa.
Kouno, JFMS 2020
Surgical treatment of rostrotentorial meningioma complicated by foraminal herniation in the cat
-what was the median overall tumour excision rate in %?
-what was the median survival time?
-90%
-612 days
Martin, JFMS 2019
Comparison of medical and/or surgical management of 23 cats with intracranial empyema or abscessation
-What was the MST of surgically managed?
-What was the MST of medically managed?
-730 days
-183 days medical
(no statistical difference)
Pilkington 2022
Sinonasal mycosis following transfrontal craniotomy in three dogs
-what surgical procedure was performed?
-what was the outcome
-frontal sinusotomy, curettage and topical antifungal treatment
-recurrence in all three
Duncun JAVMA 2021
Transorbital craniectomy for treatment of frontal lobe and olfactory bulb neoplasms in two dogs
-was it a nice approach?
yes, remember the name of the approach - very useful for frontal lobe and olfactory bulb neoplasm
Lee, JAVMA 2020
Intradiploic epidermoid cyst in a dog
-how was the skull reconstructed?
titanium mesh
Koch, vet surg 2023
