Summary

This study reviewed 13 dogs with spinal meningiomas, finding cervical tumors most common. Surgical outcomes varied, with poor results linked to tumor location and invasiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Neurology
  • Canine Oncology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Spinal meningiomas are uncommon tumors in dogs.
  • Understanding their clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment outcomes is crucial for veterinary neuro-oncology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical characteristics, diagnostic findings, and surgical outcomes of spinal meningiomas in dogs.
  • To identify factors associated with successful surgical intervention and prognosis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of medical records from 13 dogs diagnosed with spinal meningiomas.
  • Analysis of clinical signs, diagnostic imaging (radiography, myelography), surgical procedures, and patient outcomes.

Main Results:

  • No breed predilections were identified; males were more frequently affected.
  • Most dogs presented with motor deficits and spinal pain, with a significant delay in diagnosis.
  • Cervical meningiomas were most common (10/13).
  • Surgery improved outcomes in 6 of 9 dogs, with poor results correlated with tumor location, invasiveness, and iatrogenic trauma.

Conclusions:

  • Spinal meningiomas in dogs often present with progressive neurological deficits.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are important, but outcomes depend on tumor factors.
  • Tumor invasiveness and location significantly impact surgical success and prognosis in canine spinal meningiomas.
