Computed tomography diagnosis of a caval-azygos communication in a dog with cor triatriatum dexter

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the digestive tract (1%). These tumors express the CD 117 in 95% of cases. The stomach is the preferential localization (70%). Diagnosis is difficult and sometimes late. Progress of imaging has greatly improved the management and the prognosis. Computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard for diagnosis, staging, and treatment follow-up. The increasing recognition of GIST’s histopathology and the prolonged survival revealed some suggestive imaging aspects. Key words: gastro-intestinal stromal tumors; computed tomography; diagnosis

Cor Triatriatum Dexter

O Cor triatriatum é uma anomalia congênita de ocorrência rara em cães. Nesta, identifica-se a presença de três átrios no coração, sendo denominado Cor triatriatum dexter quando há um átrio a mais do lado direito e Cor triatriatum sinister quando esta anomalia ocorre do lado esquerdo. A causa da doença ainda não está conhecida, mas é sabido que ocorre falhas na embriogênese do animal acometido por esta enfermidade. Os animais que possuem a doença apresentam sinais de insuficiência cardíaca direita ou esquerda. O diagnóstico é realizado por meio de exames complementares, dentre estes, se destaca o ecodopplercardiograma como método de escolha. O tratamento baseia-se na correção cirúrgica e/ou tratamento para a insuficiência cardíaca. Para evitar o surgimento desta anomalia, recomenda-se a castração destes animais, a não repetição do cruzamento que gerou este filhote, assim como, cruzamento consanguíneos.

Cor Triatriatum Dexter

Abstract Background Cor triatriatum dexter is an extremely rare congenital anomaly, and in most cases, without hemodynamic significance. Congenital cytomegalovirus infection is the most common viral infection, the majority of infected infants being asymptomatic and only 5-15% being symptomatic in the neonatal period. Case report We present the case of a female infant, aged 3 months. Clinical examination reveals cranial and facial anomalies. The karyotype was normal. Laboratory tests revealed the presence of anti-CMV antibodies in urine. Imaging studies showed cerebral and renal anomalies. Echocardiographic exam revealed a congenital anatomical feature without hemodynamic significance - cor triatriatum dexter. Conclusions although cytomegalovirus infection is mostly asymptomatic, it can present as a complex pathological association, in which a congenital cardiac anatomical feature without hemodynamic significance, considered by some authors as an anatomical variant, can appear
