A 7-month-old Siberian cat was presented for investigation of acute onset multifocal neurological deficits. Neurological examination documented dull mental status and an ambulatory left hemiparesis. Serum biochemistry documented marked hyperglobulinaemia. MRI of the brain identified marked leptomeningeal contrast enhancement extending along the brainstem caudally to involve the cranial cervical spinal cord. MRI of the cervical spine further identified a subarachnoid diverticulum that extended from the level of the obex to the C2-C3 vertebrae. Cerebrospinal fluid quantitative RT-PCR was positive for the presence of feline coronavirus. Histopathology revealed pyogranulomatous meningitis and choroid plexitis, uveitis and nephritis.
This article describes the first reported case of a subarachnoid diverticulum associated with feline infectious peritonitis.
一只7个月大的西伯利亚猫因急性发作的多灶性神经功能缺损前来检查。神经学检查显示精神状态迟钝以及左侧偏瘫。血清生化检查显示明显的高球蛋白血症。脑部磁共振成像(MRI)显示沿脑干向尾侧延伸至颅颈脊髓的明显软脑膜对比增强。颈椎MRI进一步发现一个从延髓水平延伸至C2 - C3椎体的蛛网膜憩室。脑脊液定量逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测猫冠状病毒呈阳性。组织病理学显示脓性肉芽肿性脑膜炎、脉络丛炎、葡萄膜炎和肾炎。
本文描述了首例与猫传染性腹膜炎相关的蛛网膜憩室病例报告。
