Skeletal Pathology (LS) Flashcards
What dz is the result of METAPHYSEAL dysplasia?
Osteopetrosis in Angus cattle→ inherited
(Marble Bone Dz)
Pathogenesis of Osteopetrosis (Marble Bone Dz)?
- failure of osteoclasts to resorb 1° spongiosa → accumulation of bony spicules in the BM space
Lesions of Osteopetrosis?
- Increased bone density
- Aplastic anemia
What dz is the result of DIAPHYSEAL dysplasia?
Congenital Cortical Hyperostosis of Pigs
Pathogenesis of Congenital Cortical Hyperostosis?
- abnormal periosteal LONG bone formation→ deposition on radiating trebeculae
- affects the cortex (outside) of bone
Lesions of Congenital Cortical Hyperostosis?
- increased diameter of bone
- edema due to lymph blockage
Craniomandibular Osteopathy (CMO) is often seen in what dog breeds?
Prognosis?
- West Highland white terriers → 4-7 mo.
- Irish setters
- self limiting, can regress
Pathogenesis of Craniomandibular osteopathy?
abnormal PERIOSTEAL bone formation→ increased bone thickness
irregular bone resorption
Chondrodystrophy is a ______ lesion in the ______ _____.
- primary
- growth cartilage
List the 3 different types of Disproportionate Dwarfism (Chondrodystrophy) seen in cattle.
- Deter type→ bulldog calves
- Telemark → brachygnathia, cleft palate, protruding tongue, short neck
- Short headed type
4 Causes of Osteochondrosis?
- Infarcts
- increased Zn→ DECREASED Cu
- INCREASED Ca2+
- Idiopathic
Pathogenesis of Osteochondrosis?
failure/delay of ENDOCHONDRAL ossification→ rention of growth cartilage
FOCAL (more frequently)
3 Lesions of Osteochondrosis?
- wedge shaped
- necrosis
- hemorrhage
Pathogenesis of Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD)?
dysplasia at AE complex→ FX of articular cartilage → joint mouse
NOT FOCAL
Pathogenesis of STATIC Cervical Vertebral Myelopathy (Wobbler’s).
What is it called in Horse/Dog?
- 2º to CONSTANT SC compression due to malformation
- Horses → 1-4 years →”Cervical Static Stenosis”
- Dogs → “Cervical Spondylomyelopathies”
What ligament is affected by Static CVM?
- Hypertrophy of ligamentum flavum
Pathogenesis of DYNAMIC Cervical Vertebral Myelopathy?
- INTERMITTENT SC compression due to rapid growth
- Horses → 8-18 months →Cervical Vertebral Instability
What are Hemivertebrae (Butterfly vertebrae)?
Who has them?
- partially developed vertebrae→ can compress SC
- Bulldogs, Frenchies, Pugs, Bostons
Causes of Growth Arrest Lines?
- Viral → BVD, K9 distemper
- Lead toxicity → Lead line
Pathogenesis of Osteoporosis?
Atrophy → Increased resorption or decreased formation
6 Causes of Osteoporosis?
- Low Ca → high PTH
- Low Cu
Toxicity:
- High Vit A.
- Adriamycin
- Fluoride
- Glucocorticoids
3 Lesions of Osteoporosis?
- Cortical bone → LOW thickness, HIGH porosity
- Trabecular bone →LOW thickness
- Medullary cavity → ENLARGED
Pathogenesis of Rickets (Rachitic Rosary)
- Young animals
- failure of mineralization of endochondrial ossification
- Excess osteoid @ epiphysis
1° Cause of Rickets?
Low Vit D
Pathogenesis of Osteomalacia?
- MATURE animals
- softening of bones after growth plate closure
- failure of mineralization
3 Causes of Osteomalacia?
- Low Vit D
- Chronic Renal dz → low calcitriol
- Chronic Fluorosis
