A 4-month-old female-entire Vizsla dog was referred for progressive seizure activity, vomiting, lethargy, inappetence, and neck pain. CT revealed focal inflammation, a calvarial osseous defect, a possible foreign body within the brain, and associated vasogenic edema. A cerebrospinal fluid tap revealed marked septic neutrophilic pleocytosis. MRI findings supported diagnosis of a 1.7 cm foreign body within the brain. A right rostrotentorial craniectomy was performed, and intraparenchymal grass seed was removed in its entirety via intraoperative ultrasound guidance. The patient was discharged 2 days postoperatively, and long-term follow-up revealed no abnormal neurological signs.
一只4个月大的未绝育匈牙利维兹拉犬因进行性癫痫发作、呕吐、嗜睡、食欲不振和颈部疼痛前来就诊。CT显示局灶性炎症、颅骨骨质缺损、脑内可能存在异物以及相关的血管源性水肿。脑脊液穿刺显示明显的感染性中性粒细胞增多。MRI结果支持脑内有一个1.7厘米异物的诊断。进行了右侧额颞部颅骨切除术，并在术中超声引导下完整取出脑实质内的草籽。患者术后2天出院，长期随访未发现异常神经体征。
