- Epidural - biconvex - doesn’t cross sutures
- Subdural - Moon shape - crosses sutures but not longitudinal fissue or os tentorium
- Subarachnoid goes into the sulci.
intracranial arachnoid diverticulum of the quadreminal cistern.
Remember what pituitary apoplexy is.
Pituitary tumor where sudden bleeding or hemorrhage occurs
What is a craniopharyngioma? Suprasellar germ cell tumor?
Craniopharyngioma is a benign neoplasm that is derived from epithelial remnants of the oropharyngeal ectoderm of Rathke’s pouch.
Both occur in young adult to middle - aged animals, are often very large and grow along the ventral aspect of the brain
Craniopharyngioma = stalk like shape (picture)
Dog with facial paralysis
Expansile nature of the internal acoustic meatus. Facial nerve PNST is considered.
Three different large breed dogs
Cervical spondylomyopathy
Osteochondroma
Or multiple cartilageous chondromatosis
Note the cortex and medulla are well formed, and therefore this is considered most likely
OCD of the sacrum
Discospondylitis
Intraspinal articular cyst
- subdivided in ganglion cysts, synovial cysts and cysts arising from ligaments and intervertebral disk
What are the most common neoplasms of the spine? Extradural, intramedullary and intradural?
