摘要: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of brain lesions in 5 dogs and 2 cats characterized by extensive cystic changes the cerebral hemispheres terms a porencephaly are presented. Age at diagnosis ranged from 12 weeks to 7 years. MRI findings were confined forebrain. Porencephalic appeared as wedge-shaped parenchymal defects connecting ventricular system subarachnoid space or large hemispheres. Although two adult porencephalic asymptomatic, other animals showed clinical symptoms depending on affected area. Three had seizures. Interestingly, four neurological signs normally not localized forebrain (nystagmus, hypermetria, ataxia). Whether these related impaired function cortex recognizable cerebello-vestibular could be further clarified. develop intrauterine postnatal, can occur later life. The definition well its subclassification is uniform veterinary medicine. We suggest term encephaloclastic unregarding underlying cause defect, which cannot specified diagnostic imaging.
