Vertebral Vascular Canal Dysplasia in Dogs

In this episode of our free Neurology for Vets Journal Club webinar series, sponsored by Hallmarq Advanced Veterinary Imaging, we invite Dr. Koen Santifort from the neurology team at Evidensia Small Animal Hospital 'Hart van Brabant' and Arnhem, Waalwijk and Arnhem in The Netherlands to discuss his publication on Vertebral Vascular Canal Dysplasia (VVCD). The vertebral vascular canal or foramen houses the basivertebral vein as it passes through the middle of the vertebral body. The aims of this study were to (1) describe the clinical, CT, and MRI characteristics of VVCD; and (2) estimate the prevalence and describe the characteristics of this anomaly in a group of French and English Bulldogs.
