    This study tracked brain abscess development in dogs, showing how CT scans reveal cerebritis and capsule formation. Ring enhancement on CT scans accurately indicates early cerebritis before a capsule fully forms.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary neurology
    • Diagnostic imaging
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Brain abscesses are serious infections requiring accurate diagnosis.
    • Understanding the temporal evolution of abscesses aids in early detection and treatment.
    • Computed Tomography (CT) is a key imaging modality in veterinary neurology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To correlate CT findings with neuropathologic stages of brain abscess evolution in dogs.
    • To characterize the dynamic changes in ring enhancement during abscess development.
    • To establish imaging criteria for differentiating cerebritis from encapsulated abscess stages.

    Main Methods:

    • Inducing brain abscesses in dogs via direct inoculation.
    • Serial CT scans were performed to monitor abscess development over 14 days.

  • Correlation of serial CT findings with post-mortem neuropathologic examination.

    • Main Results:

    • Abscesses progressed from cerebritis to encapsulated stages over 14 days.
    • Ring enhancement on CT was observed during the cerebritis stage, preceding capsule formation.
    • Ring enhancement size correlated with cerebritis extent; delayed scans showed rim thickening and central area reduction.
    • Post-capsule formation, CT appearance stabilized with no significant changes on delayed scans.

    Conclusions:

    • CT imaging, particularly ring enhancement patterns and delayed scan behavior, is crucial for assessing brain abscess evolution in dogs.
    • The findings provide a basis for differentiating active cerebritis from established encapsulated abscesses using CT.
    • This correlation aids in understanding the natural history and imaging characteristics of canine brain abscesses.
