  • Title: Multi-focal cerebral oligoastrocytoma in a puppy.
    Author: Walmsley GL, Chandler K, Davies ES, Lamb CR, Smyth B, Summers BA.
    Journal: J Small Anim Pract; 2009 Aug; 50(8):435-9. PubMed ID: 19689673.
    Abstract:
    A nine-month-old puppy was presented for investigation of seizures. Neurological deficits were found localising to the prosencephalon, mesencephalon and myelencephalon. Magnetic resonance imaging identified multiple, large lesions involving both cerebral hemispheres. Management with antiepileptic and immunomodulatory drugs was instituted; however, the seizures became progressively refractory and the puppy was euthanased. Histopathology following post-mortem examination found a mixed glial cell tumour with discrete areas where neoplastic cells appeared oligodendroglial or astrocytic. Primary intracranial neoplasia is a rare cause of neurological disease in young dogs. Moreover, this case is unusual in terms of both the mixed glial nature of the neoplasm and also its multi-focal distribution.
