🧠🔍 Today on Diagnostic Diaries!
We met a lovely 12-year-old crossbreed who presented with seizures — a worrying and distressing sign for both patient and owner.
An MRI of the brain revealed:
A suspected extra-axial space occupying lesion at the level of the left dorsomedial frontal lobe compatible with neoplastic process - differentials include meningioma (possibly aggressive type) or histiocytic sarcoma.
These findings help explain the seizure activity and highlight the importance of advanced imaging in identifying intracranial disease. By localising and characterising the lesion, we can guide discussions around prognosis, further diagnostics, and treatment options.
With clear imaging comes clearer direction — and the ability to make informed decisions for the best possible care. 💙🐾

By their side until it’s time to go home 🩷

We know how worrying it can be when your pet isn’t quite themselves. At Northwest Referrals, we care for every patient with the same attention and compassion we’d give our own pets, keeping them comfortable and closely monitored 🐾

Working alongside your regular vet, our goal is to give them the expert care they need and help them get safely back home to you 🏡

We did not expect the MRI to find this! 😮

A 7-year-old Siamese cat came in with an unusual, wobbly walk. After running tests, an MRI revealed the cause, a protruding spinal disc pressing on the spinal cord.

To treat it, the cat had a hemilaminectomy, a surgery where a small portion of bone is removed from one side of the vertebra to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and remove the disc material

After surgery and recovery, this cat is back to moving comfortably again 🐾

🩺🔍 Today on Diagnostic Diaries!
We met a lovely 13-year-old Springer Spaniel who presented with pyrexia, lethargy, and suspected pneumonia — just not quite himself.
A CT study of the thorax and abdomen revealed:
➡️ A large pulmonary mass causing mass effect on the adjacent bronchus
➡️ A right adrenal gland mass
➡️ Enlargement of the left adrenal gland
➡️ A heterogeneous lumen of the caudal vena cava adjacent to the right adrenal mass
These findings highlight the complexity behind what initially appeared to be a straightforward respiratory case. Advanced imaging allowed us to uncover the full extent of disease and better understand what’s driving this patient’s clinical signs.
With this information, we can guide the next steps and support him with a tailored, informed plan. 💙🐾
