This article reviews definitions and normal anatomy and physiology of canine and feline cerebral vasculature. The pathophysiology of cerebrovascular disease (CVD), which results from disturbance of cerebral blood supply, is described, along with its common causes and correlative findings. The general clinical presentation of companion animals is described, although specific neurologic abnormalities depend on the neuroanatomic location of the disrupted blood supply. Current and future diagnostic approaches are described, including ancillary testing for predisposing factors. Acute and chronic management of patients with CVD is discussed. The prognosis for dogs and cats with acute CVD is generally considered good.
本文综述了犬猫脑血管系统的定义、正常解剖结构和生理学。描述了由脑供血紊乱导致的脑血管疾病（CVD）的病理生理学，以及其常见病因和相关表现。阐述了伴侣动物的一般临床表现，尽管具体的神经学异常取决于中断供血的神经解剖位置。介绍了当前和未来的诊断方法，包括对易感因素的辅助检测。讨论了CVD患者的急性和慢性管理。一般认为患有急性CVD的犬猫预后良好。
