Neurology
Teaching goals
  • To know the function and some of the anatomic pathway of the glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory and hypoglossal nerves, and the sympathetic innervation to the eye
  • Having a glance at how we can visualise these nerves on advanced imaging.
  • Knowing the most important pathologies that may affect these cranial nerves, and Horner, syndrome, their clinical presentation, their diagnosis, treatment and outcome.
  • Examples of studies, case series and case reports of neuropathies of the IX, X, XI and XII, and Horner syndrome published in the veterinary literature.

Neurology
Teaching goals
  • To know the most common acute myelopathies that cats may suffer from
  • By taking obtaining a clinical history and performing neurological examination, we can narrow down our list of differential diagnoses
  • With the most likely two or three differential diagnoses in our mind, we can choose the best diagnostic work-up or the best management for every case
  • Advanced imaging and spinal surgery may be needed in some cases, but some other cases can be successfully managed without these

Neurology
Teaching goals
  • To know the most common acute myelopathies that dogs may suffer from
  • By taking into account the patient signalment, obtaining a clinical history and performing neurological examination, we can narrow down our list of differential diagnoses
  • With the most likely two or three differential diagnoses in our mind, we can choose the best diagnostic work-up or the best management for every case
  • Advanced imaging and spinal surgery may be needed in some cases, but some other cases can be successfully managed without these
Teaching goals
  • Steroid-responsive meningitis arteritis is an immune-mediate, systemic, multiorganic disease. It usually has a good outcome.
  • Performing thorough physical and neurological examination is crucial, because in some cases, implication of other systems and organs may occur, due to the involvement of their vascular beds.
  • In these cases, imaging of other body areas, like head and thorax, may be needed.
  • Involvement of other organs/systems is often subclinical but it may result sometimes in severe neurological dysfunction.
