    Snippet: Given the difficulties distinguishing FECV and FIPV, along with the marked variation in clinical presentation, reaching a definitive antemortem diagnosis of FIP remains challenging. However, the results of our case series suggest that MRI of the brain can be a sensitive means of lesion detection in cats presented with neurologic FIP, with MRI findings reflecting leptomeningeal and ependymal vasculitis, with secondary ventriculomegaly and mass eff.....
    Document: Given the difficulties distinguishing FECV and FIPV, along with the marked variation in clinical presentation, reaching a definitive antemortem diagnosis of FIP remains challenging. However, the results of our case series suggest that MRI of the brain can be a sensitive means of lesion detection in cats presented with neurologic FIP, with MRI findings reflecting leptomeningeal and ependymal vasculitis, with secondary ventriculomegaly and mass effect. When MRI findings are combined with a compatible signalment and CSF analysis, a high clinical suspicion of FIP can be reached, facilitating case management and client guidance.
