Such defects arise from improper neural tube closure during embryogenesis. Although well documented in humans, they are infrequently reported in veterinary medicine. The etiology of anencephaly in dogs is not fully understood, but a strong genetic predisposition has been observed, particularly among brachycephalic breeds. In addition, studies in humans have implicated factors such as folic acid deficiency, hypervitaminosis A, and exposure to teratogens as potential contributors. Using diagnostic imaging techniques, including radiography and ultrasonography, it is possible to detect intrauterine modifications indicative of malformation. Unfortunately, there are no known corrections or treatments for anencephaly, and affected fetuses are typically stillborn or die within hours after birth. This case report presents observations of 2 neonatal puppies with anencephaly, acalvaria, exophthalmia, and palatoschisis, providing further insights into these puzzling brain malformations in canines. Key clinical message: The present report highlights the importance of prenatal monitoring for diagnosis of anencephaly in dogs. It describes radiographic and ultrasonographic findings and compares morphological changes in 2 affected puppies of different breeds and clinical histories.</p>","PeriodicalId":9429,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Veterinary Journal-revue Veterinaire Canadienne","volume":"66 6","pages":"628-634"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12152681/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144282390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Overall incisional infection rate in hospital was 12.8%, with no difference among groups (10.4, 13.5, and 14.7%; <i>P</i> = 0.80).

Radiographic and computed tomographic examinations identified a localized dorsal intraluminal tracheal wall mass without detectable locoregional metastasis, leading to surgical resection and anastomosis of the affected tracheal segment. Histopathological analysis confirmed the mass as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with clear lateral and deep skeletal muscle margins. Monitoring after surgery, rather than adjuvant therapy, was elected by the dog's owner. The dog recovered with no complications noted and was in a state of clinical remission at the final in-hospital evaluation (3 mo after surgery). This case represents the second documented instance of canine tracheal SCC treated successfully with surgery. It underscores the potential for surgical intervention as a viable treatment option, potentially improving prognosis and survival outcomes in dogs affected by tracheal SCC. Regular evaluations and serial imaging examinations are recommended to monitor for recurrence and ensure long-term clinical remission. Key clinical message: This case marks the first documented tracheal resection and anastomosis as treatment for canine tracheal SCC and only the second reported tracheal SCC in a dog. Despite the typical negative outcomes associated with this SCC, the dog in this report achieved clinical remission without the need for chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Surgical intervention may be a viable treatment option for tracheal SCC, potentially improving prognosis and survival outcomes in affected dogs.</p>","PeriodicalId":9429,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Veterinary Journal-revue Veterinaire Canadienne","volume":"66 6","pages":"622-627"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12152688/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144282426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
