이저순,윤정희,오현정,김보은,김완희,윤화영,최민철 한국임상수의학회 2015 한국임상수의학회지 Vol.32 No.3

Three dogs having adrenal masses detected on ultrasonographic examination were underwent computed tomography (CT) for surgery. After adrenalectomy, each mass was diagnosed pheochromocytoma with myelolipoma, adrenocortical carcinoma and adrenal adenoma through histopathology. Five minutes were used to get delayed enhanced CT images. Attenuation value was measured in each mass and the absolute and relative percentage of enhancement washout were calculated.

Fluoroscopic characteristics of tracheal collapse and cervical lung herniation in dogs: 222 cases (2012–2015)

This retrospective study included 222 dogs suspected to have tracheal collapse (TC) and examined between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2015. Fluoroscopic and radiographic images and medical records were evaluated to investigate the fluoroscopic characteristics of TC and cervical lung herniation (CLH), and to determine their relationships to various influencing. Grade of TC, existence of tracheal kinking, location of CLH (right or left side), and grade of CLH were evaluated fluoroscopically. One hundred ninety-nine dogs (89.6%) were diagnosed with TC. Presence of TC was not associated with the patients’ cough history; however, CLH was positively correlated with cough history (odds ratio [OR], 2.896; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.556 to 5.390) and was affected by tracheal kinking (OR, 3.841; 95% CI, 1.884 to 7.831). Chronic cough was not related with CLH. Since TC can be observed in patients without a history of cough, presence of TC should be ruled out by using physical examination and diagnostic imaging. Although CLH is associated with a history of cough, it is a common appearance in dogs, and transient coughing can elicit CLH in patients without a history of cough.

A 14-year-old, castrated male mixed-breed dog weighing 9 kg was presented for hematuria and dysuria. Abdominal ultrasound showed unilateral hydronephrosis and hydroureter with focal thickening of the ureteral wall. Surgical exploration revealed an intraluminal mass arising from the proximal left ureter. Mass resection was performed. Histopathology of the ureteral mass was consistent with a papillary transitional cell carcinoma. The patient recovered well post-operatively, but was diagnosed with another tumor three months later, this time in the right kidney. Fineneedle aspiration cytology of the renal mass revealed an epithelial cell tumor with mesenchymal features.

14살령의 중성화 수컷 개가 혈뇨와 배뇨통으로 내원하였다. 복부초음파 검사에서 편측성 수신증과 요관 벽이 국소적으로 두꺼워진 수뇨관증이 진단되었다. 수술적 탐색으로 좌측 근위 요관에서 요관 유래의 관내 종괴가 확인되었으며, 종괴 절제술이 실시되었다. 요관 종괴는 조직학적 검사를 통해 유두상 이행세포암종으로 진단되었다. 환자는 안정적으로 회복되었으나, 수술 3개월 후 또 다른 종괴가 우측 신장에서 발견되었다. 신장 종괴에 대한 세포학적 검사 결과 간엽세포종양으로 진단되었다.

A 10-year-old, castrated poodle dog presented with a cough for 2 weeks, and the cough initially developed since very young age. On radiographs, pneumothorax was noticed by characteristics of radiolucent area without pulmonary markings along the thoracic wall and diaphragm, retracted lung lobes from the thoracic wall and severely decreased volume of the left cranial lung lobe with disconnected bronchus. Computed tomography (CT) findings identified several pulmonary air-filled cysts and collapsed lung with abnormal shape and non-tapered end of bronchus, bronchioles at the accessory lobe and left cranial lobe. Also, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema were found. Imaging diagnosis was the spontaneous pneumothorax caused by ruptured emphysematous bullae associated with congenital bronchial cartilage abnormality or bronchial tree malformation. On surgery, hypoplasia of the left cranial lobe, right middle lobe, and accessory lobe with a bulla where air was leaking was identified. The accessory lobe was partially resected and bronchial cartilage hypoplasia was confirmed by histopathologic examination.

10년령의 중성화된 수컷 Poodle이 기흉이 의심되어 내원하였다. 어릴 때부터 기침증상을 보이다가 약 2주 전부터 악화되었으며, 혈액검사 및 요검사에서 유의적인 특이소견은 발견되지 않았다. 흉부 방사선 영상에서 기흉 소견 및 좌측 전엽 부위 기관지의 단절과 고도로 감소된 폐 실질이 관찰되었다. 흉부의 CT 영상 검사에서, 좌측 전엽과 덧엽에서 몇 개의 cyst들과 허탈된 폐가 관찰되었다. 또한 이 부위에서 기관지와 세기관지들은 비정상적인 형태로 끝부분이 가늘어지지 않았으며, 그 외에도 기흉, 기종격, 그리고 피하 기종이 확인되었다. 이러한 영상학적 특징들로부터 기종성 수포의 파열에 의해 발생한 자발성 기흉이 고려되었으며, 그 원인으로는 선천적인 기관지의 이상 또는 기관지 가지의 기형이 고려되었다. 부분적인 폐 덧엽 절제술이 실시되었으며, 좌측 전엽, 우측 중엽, 그리고 덧엽의 저형성이 확인되었고 특히 덧엽에서는 공기가 새고 있는 수포가 확인되었다. 조직병리학적 검사를 통해 기관지 연골 저형성으로 최종 진단되었다.

Ureteral jets are the result of a forceful ejection of urine from the vesicoureteral junction into the urinary bladder. By using color Doppler ultrasonography (US), we aimed to identify distinct ureteral jets in dogs, provide insight into ureteral obstruction, and facilitate study of urodynamics and vesicoureteric sphincter function via pulsed Doppler US. Color Doppler US was applied to detect urinary flow from the right ureteral orifices in eight healthy beagles. Under anesthesia, 0.9% saline (2.5 mL/kg/h) and furosemide (0.5 mg/kg) were administered intravenously to assist in detection of distinct ureteral jets and examine their frequency, velocity, duration, and waveform. In all dogs, ureteral jets were visualized under diuresis and anesthesia within 2 to 5 min (mean 3.57 ± 0.90 min) of the furosemide injection. Mean frequency, peak velocity, and duration of right ureteral jets in seven dogs in whom six ureteral jet waveform patterns were identified were 9.86 ± 3.09 jets/min, 34.07 ± 10.02 cm/sec, and 2.82 ± 1.08 sec, respectively. During the 10 min period starting 10 min after the initial jet appeared, only three waveforms were identified. Color Doppler US of ureteral jets may aid in assessing vesicoureteric sphincter function and ureteral abnormalities, such as ureteral obstruction, in dogs.
