    Snippet: Our results support the use of kMRI in patients with OA-CSM to reveal new compressive sites, dorsal compressions and to enhance visualization of extradural compressive lesions, such as synovial cysts. A multitude of infectious agents are on the differential list for dogs with focal or multifocal neurological dysfunction. A number of Bartonella spp., including B. henselae, B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii, and B. clarridgeaie, are known to infect dog.....
    Document: Our results support the use of kMRI in patients with OA-CSM to reveal new compressive sites, dorsal compressions and to enhance visualization of extradural compressive lesions, such as synovial cysts. A multitude of infectious agents are on the differential list for dogs with focal or multifocal neurological dysfunction. A number of Bartonella spp., including B. henselae, B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii, and B. clarridgeaie, are known to infect dogs. While multiple human cases of neurobartonellosis have recently been described, the role these organisms play in clinical diseases of the central nervous system of dogs has not been widely explored. The purpose of this study was to use polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify Bartonella spp. DNA from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of naturally exposed dogs in endemic areas meeting criteria for inflammatory central nervous system (CNS) disease.
