A Case of Traumatic Brain Injury in a Chihuahua Dog: Serial Clinical and Computed Tomographic Findings

A dog (Chihuahua, 2-year-old, intact female) was referred to us because of cluster seizure. She had history of falling from height few days before presentation. Brain computed tomography (CT) results demonstrated fracture line on right temporal bone and hypodense, edematous changes of the adjacent brain parenchyma on right cerebral parenchyma. Based on history, clinical signs, and diagnostic imaging findings, this patient was diagnosed to traumatic brain injury. After diagnosis, the patient was well controlled with anti-inflammatory drug and anti-epileptic drugs. When 30, 480, and 1260 days after initial brain CT examination, we performed serial brain CT rechecks. This case report describes serial clinical and brain CT findings after traumatic brain injury.
