Lab Final- Neuro Case Studies Flashcards
Thick dura mater
Description jelly like
Most likely pus- BACTERIA
menigal lesion
Bacterium
Preventailia orilas
Menigitis on HISTO
regardless of the org
rich in neutrophils
Soft spot on skull- funtanella has not closed-increased presesure on the brain;
hydrocephalus
Protozoa/parasitic- macrophages (no eosinophils)
Massive hydrocephalus
probably congenital
Swollen full of CSF ventricles
Cause: hydrocephalus
Unlikely
Meninges poke out of head and gives CSF
Arthrogryposis
pathogenesis–> CNS parts are missing so muscles can move
- schallenberg
- Akabane
- BVD
Hydrocephalus
Right dorsal, cerebrum caudal 2-3 cm, oval well demaractaed asymetrical
cat brain
Stuck on dura mater
Menigoma tumor
can shell out or remove from brain
Most do not invade brain
Common in cats
Red, almost midline
Brain stem–> dark dot central canel with cerbellum on top
cerebelluar coning
Left side shiny, flat, enlarged cloudy (not transparent) something is going on the meniges
gelantious, green tinted (snot like)
- suppurative
- asymmetrical
abysess
pathogenesis- bites
Pituary tumors
Macro- brain damage
Micro- cushings so small not space occupying
in a horse- cushings- common in older horses- will retain winter coat
benign- grows by expansion
dorsal root ganglia
ganglioneuritis- Autjeksky’s disease
Abyssess in bone
spondytitis
crushed bone which compresses the chord
wallerian degeneration
Salmonella in calves
Wobbler’s
Wobbler’s problem instability between ligaments between 2 bones
Cauda Equina
cauda equina syndrome in horses
incontinenance -nerves become swollen
Lymphocytes and plasma cells
herpes virus
