Computed Tomography evaluation of occipital bone tumor in a Doberman – Case study

Abstract

A 6.5 years old intact Doberman female was brought to consultation showing sign of medullary compression. The neurological examination concludes a lesion in cervical part of the spine, given the fact that the patient presents mobility deficiency on all four limbs, having trouble maintaining a standing position. The mental status, the behavior and the evaluation of the central nervous system haven’t show any kind of changes. The CT examination of the spine show no changes in the vertebral alignment or sign of compression. The CT scanning of the head reveals an infiltrative osteolytic formation in the right side of the temporo-occipital bone of the skull,
