초록

5.2 kg의 7살령 중성화 된 수컷 시추가 심각한 신경증상(paddling, 무의식, 실명, 발작)으로 내원하였다. 내원 당시 ECG 상에 심실 유래의 심박동 약 140회의 가속성 심실 고유박동(AVIR)이 지속적으로 나타났다. 이 환축은 자기공명영상법(MRI)과 뇌척수액검사(CSF)를 통해 파종성 육아종성 뇌수막염(GME)로 잠정 진단 내려졌다. 신경증상은 스테로이드제와 항경련제, 이뇨제, 항생제, 20% 만니톨 정맥 주사 등으로 호전 되었으며 부정맥은(AIVR) mexiletin으로 통제되었다. 신경학적인 문제에 대한 응급 처치 후 증상의 호전에도 불구하고 항부정맥제 처치 없이는 심장의 리듬이 불안정 했기 때문에 항부정맥 처치는 신경증상이 완전히 소실 될 때까지 유지되었다.

A 7-year-old neutered male Shih Tzu dog weighing 5.2 kg was presented because of severe neurological signs (paddling, unconsciousness, blindness, seizure). ECG revealed accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) with ~140 bpm ventricular rate. Based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, the neurological condition was tentatively diagnosed as disseminated granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis (GME). The neurological signs were managed with steroids, anticonvulsive drugs, diuretics and antibiotics with 20% mannitol infusion. The rhythm disturbance (AIVR) was managed with oral medication of mexiletine. Because the heart rhythms were unstable without anti-arrhythmic therapy in spite of improvement of clinical signs after emergency treatment for neurological problems, the anti-arrhythmic therapy was maintained till the neurological signs were abolished.
