The aim of this report is to disseminate ultrasound findings of meningoencephalitis in a dog, diagnosed by analysis of cerebrospinal fluid collected by guided-ultrasound puncture. The patient presented walking in circles, absence of bilateral threat reflex, decreased left eyelid reflex, divergent strabismus of the right eye, negative nasal sensation on the right side, and an increase in volume of skullcap with the presence of open fontanelle. The clinical suspicion was hydrocephalus and/or inflammatory/infectious disease. The distemper rapid test was negative. The hematological profile showed an increase in alanine aminotransferase enzyme. Ultrasound examination was performed with patient in sternal decubitus, using a linear transducer (9.0 MHz). Images were obtained in longitudinal and transverse sections through the temporal windows and bregmatic fontanelle. The presence of a marked anechogenic content with moderate amount of floating hyperechogenic spots was observed, with retraction and increased echogenicity of the brain. Cerebrospinal fluid was collected using the bregmatic fontanelle for ultrasound-guided puncture, under general anesthesia. Meningoencephalitis was indicated by mononucleated cells and red blood cells founded in cerebrospinal fluid analysis. However, the patient not return to start treatment and investigate the cause of the meningoencephalitis.

Abstract Background 15q26 deletion is a relatively rare chromosomal disorder described in only few cases. Patients with this aberration display numerous symptoms particularly, pre- and postnatal growth restriction, microcephaly, intellectual disability, dysmorphic gestalt and various congenital malformations. Case presentation We report on a girl, four years old, of consanguineous parents, with a de novo 15q26 deletion. Clinical manifestations included failure to thrive, microcephaly, dysmorphic facies with broad forehead, hypertelorism, narrowed eyelid slits and protruding columella. The patient also showed skeletal abnormalities, especially clinodactyly of the 5th finger, varus equine right foot and left club foot. Additionally, she had teething delay and divergent strabismus. Heart ultrasound displayed a left-to-right shunt, two atrial septal defects, enlarging the right heart cavities. Routine cytogenetic analysis revealed a shortened 15 chromosome with an abnormally short ened long (q) arm. Subsequent array analysis disclosed a terminal 9.15 Mb deletions detected in band 15q26.1-q26.3. Five candidate genes associated with 15q26 deletion phenotype were within the deleted region, i.e. IGF1R, NR2F2, MEF2A, MCTP2, and CHD2.Conclusion 15q26 monosomy should be considered when growth retardation is associated with ear anomaly, clinodactyly and/or abnormal toe, heart defect mainly atrioventricular septal defects (AVSDs) and/or aortic arch anomaly (AAA).
