Resumo: |
The nervous system, unlike other body, is divided into parts that have unique anatomical and functional characteristics. Therefore, locating a lesion within the different areas of this system can be a challenge for the clinician. However, this task is simplified by applying the method of neurological syndromes. Using this method, aimed at evaluating the results of the implementation and effectiveness of the location of the lesions and the etiologic diagnosis of diseases of the nervous system of dogs and cats presenting neurological symptoms. Furthermore, we aimed at verifying the occurrence of such syndromes as well as generate a database of epidemiological period of performance of this work This work was conducted at the Veterinary Hospital of UFRPE, between March and October 2008, where 405 were selected cases (dogs and cats), at the time of consultation showed the chief complaint or clinical findings of neurological disease. It was noted the great demand for neurological care in the HVUFRPE and a high incidence of the syndromes in animals breed (SRD), where theyconstituted about 45% of animals treated. Thoracolumbar syndrome was more frequent in dogs, followed by multifocal and cats lumbosacral syndrome followed by thoracolumbar. The large number of cases in multifocal syndrome is associated with lack of vaccination, socio-geographic location (low education) and low-income population served. Over 90% of the animals were treated medically and there was little improvement, it took the fact that the animals arrive with chronic injuries and in an advanced state and not return for reassessment. There were 40 deaths, but only autopsy was performed in seven animals and of these only two concluded the diagnosis. Finally we have that 100% of animals where it was applied the method of neurological syndromes, it was possible the location of nerve injury, however, only 288 animals, 254 dogs (71.14%) and 34 cats (70.83%) it was the final diagnosis of the disease. The data obtained showed the effectiveness of the method in the anatomical location of lesions ofthe nervous system and that was difficult to achieve for diagnosis of disease. |
