Abdominal aortic aneurysm associated with systemic fungal infection in a German shepherd dog.   J Am Anim Hosp Assoc, 47(1): 45-9.

A 2 yr old spayed female German shepherd presented with a chief complaint of acute onset paraparesis and weight loss. At presentation, the dog was pyrexic, nonambulatory, and had generalized muscle wasting. Neurolocalization was consistent with a thoracolumbar spinal cord lesion. An abdominal ultrasound was performed and revealed a focal dilation (4 cm) of the terminal aorta with evidence of blood stasis consistent with an aortic aneurysm. The dog was euthanized shortly after admission to the ... [Abstract] [Full-text]

Computed tomography for the diagnosis and management of abdominal aortic aneurysms.   Surg Clin North Am, 91(1): 185-93.

Computed tomography (CT) is useful in the detection and diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Rupture risk can be assessed by accurately measuring diameter, tortuosity, thrombus extent, and wall stress. CT can aid in accurately determining anatomic variants as well as AAA etiology. Evaluation for surgical intervention is made by close examination of AAA morphology and specific anatomic features. [Abstract] [Full-text]
