Abstract

A 5-year-old, 2.7 kg female maltese dog was presented a local veterinary clinic with one week history of hindlimb lameness associated with patellar luxation. Reduction of bilateral medial patellar luxation was operated using trochlear resection and lateral reinforcement technique. Three weeks after the surgery, the dog showed bending spine with pain in thoracic and lumbar region, continuous ataxia and intermittent convulsion. Magnetic resonance imaging scanning revealed a hyperintense mass in right frontal lobe of brain and abnormal cavitation from cervical cord to third lumbar cord. Histopathologically, neoplasm in brain composed of meningothelial cells showed loosely reticular or lace-like morphology with numerous extracellular cystic spaces of variable size and shape. Neoplastic cells were positive for vimentin and negative for neuron specific enolase and glial fibrillary acidic protein. Irregular shaped enlarge central canal-like cavity was existed in cervical and lumbar cords. In our best knowledge, this report described the clinical findings, imaging and histopathologic characteristics of unusual intracranial microcystic meningioma with secondary syringomyelia in a dog.

체중 2.7 kg의 5세령 암컷 말티즈 견이 양측 슬개골 탈구와 후지 파행으로 지역동물병원에 내원하였다. 도르레절제술과 슬개골의 외측 보강 봉합법을 이용하여 슬개골 탈구 정복술을 실시하였으나, 수술 3주 후 등을 굽힌 자세의 보행과 후지의 운동실조, 흉요추부의 압통, 간헐적인 경련증상으로 재 내원하였다. 자기공명영상 촬영 결과, 우측 전두엽의 종괴와 경수에서부터 3번 요수까지의 공동성 변화가 확인되었다. 병리조직학적 소견으로 뇌종양은 느슨한 망상구조 또는 레이스 모양의 수막세포들로 구성되었으며, 세포 외부에 다양한 크기와 형태의 많은 낭포성 공간이 관찰되었다. 면역조직화학염색 결과 종양세포들은 vimentin 양성, 신경원 특이 에놀라제 및 신경교 섬유질 산성 단백질에는 음성을 나타내었다. 경수와 흉수 부위에는 부정형의 확장된 중심관 유사 동공이 관찰되었다. 이 증례는 개에서 특이적인 두개강 내 소낭성 뇌수막종과 연관되어 2차적으로 발생한 척수공동증의 임상소견과 영상학적 및 병리조직학적 특징을 보여주고 있다.
