Intracranial Neoplasia Flashcards
Rossmeisl Jr, JAVMA, 2013:
Palliatively treated primary brain tumors
- MST?
- Were shorter survival times achieved for infratentorial (cerebellum, pons, medulla) or supratentorial (cerebrum) tumors?
Rossmeisl Jr, JAVMA, 2013:
- MST: 69 days
- Infratentorial tumors were associated with shorter survival times than supratentorial tumors
Marino, Vet Surg, 2014:
Adverse effects of CUSA-associated diencephalic mass removal?
Marino, Vet Surg, 2014:
Hyperthermia and hypernatremia
Ishikawa, JAVMA, 2016:
- MRI characteristics of meningiomas vs intracranial histiocytic sarcomas?
- Displacement of vessels by meningiomas vs intracranial histiocytic sarcomas?
Ishikawa, JAVMA, 2016:
- Most meningiomas were hyperintense on T2W and FLAIR MRI images, and most intracranial histiocytic sarcomas were isointense or hypointense on T2W and FLAIR MRI images
- Vessels adjacent to meningiomas were displaced in 89% of the dogs, whereas vessels adjacent to intracranial histiocytic sarcomas were not displaced
Kohler, JAVMA, 2018:
Cytoreductive surgery for suspected primary intracranial masses
- Mortality rate?
- Major complication rate?
- What factors were associated with development of major complications or death?
- What % were non-tumorous lesions?
- What factor was associated with the lowest survival rate?
Kohler, JAVMA, 2018:
- 13% mortality rate
- 19% major complication rate
- Abnormal findings on pre-op neuro exam, dogs undergoing a suboccipital approach
- 8% were non-tumorous lesions
- Dogs that developed aspiration pneumonia had the lowest survival rate
Forward, Vet Surg, 2018:
- Post-op complication rate following intracranial surgery?
- Most common post-op complication?
Forward, Vet Surg, 2018:
- 47% post-op complication rate
- Aspiration pneumonia was the most common post-op complication
Nakano, Vet Surg, 2018:
Agreement between intensities and pattern of pre-op gadolinium enhancement on MRI and intra-op fluorescein sodium staining?
Nakano, Vet Surg, 2018:
Intensities and pattern of pre-op gadolinium enhancement on MRI agreed with intra-op fluorescein staining
Kani, JVIM, 2019:
- % agreement between stereotactic brain biopsy and surgical/necropsy specimens?
- Diagnostic accuracy of stereotactic brain biopsy?
- Diagnostic concordance for meningiomas vs gliomas?
Kani, JVIM, 2019:
- 97% agreement between stereotactic brain biopsy and surgical/necropsy specimens
- 81% diagnostic accuracy
- Meningiomas: perfect agreement
Gliomas: 78% agreement
