On radiographs there was a large, expansile outpouching of the right maxillary bone between the second and third premolar teeth. Computed tomography further characterized the expansile lesion to have a soft tissue component and to originate in the region of a caudal maxillary tooth. Surgical reconstruction of the defect was unsuccessful and the animal was euthanetized. Based on failure to find histopathologic evidence of a neoplasm or cyst, the diagnosis was a congenital malformation.}, number={4}, journal={Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound}, author={Tudor, RA and Ramirez, O and Tate, LP and Gerard, MP}, year={1999}, month={Jul}, pages={353–356} } @article{ramirez_dodge_page_price_hauck_ladue_nutter_thrall_1999, title={PALLIATIVE RADIOTHERAPY OF APPENDICULAR OSTEOSARCOMA IN 95 DOGS}, DOI={10.1111/j.1740-8261.1999.tb00385.x}, abstractNote={Ninety‐five dogs with either a presumptive ( n = 24) or biopsy confirmed diagnosis ( n = 71) of soteosarcoma received palliative radiotherapy using 60 Co photons. Parallel opposed beams were used with each dog receivign either 10 Gy on days 0,7 and 21 ( n = 58) or 8 Gy on days 0 and 7 ( n = 37). The 8 Gy fractionation scheme was given with the intent of retreating upon relapse from pain relief. Only 9 of 37 (24%) dogs in the 8 Gy group returned for retreatment, Forty‐seven of the 95 dogs (49%) received concurrent or sequention chemotherapy. Seventy of the 95 dogs (74%) experienced pain relief following treatment. In dogs experiencing pain relief the median duration of response was 73 days. Numerous clinical variables were evaluated as predictors of response. The only variable significantly related to achieving a response was the use of chemotheraphy. The following variables were significanly related to the duration of response: extent of bone lysis, chemotherapy use, length of bone involved and tumor site (humerus). In a multivariate analysis ( n = 73 dogs), after adjusting for chemotherapy use, extent of bone involvement ( p = 0.01) and tumor site ( p = 0.02) retained statistical significance, while degree of bone lysis did not ( p = 0.11). No difference in response incidence or duration was found between 3 fractions of 10 Gy vs. 2 fractions of 8 Gy. Administration of a low initial dose with the intent of retreatment was not a successful strategy.}, number={4}, journal={Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound}, author={Ramirez, Oscar and Dodge, Richard K. and Page, Rodney L. and Price, G.

These include conventional radiography, stress radiography, myelography, epidurography, transosseous and intravenous venography, discography, linear tomography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Myelography, epidurography and discography are commonly used, but often lack sensitivity. Myelography is of little value when evaluating the cauda equina because the dural sac is elevated from the vertebral canal floor and frequently ends before the lumbosacral junction. Epidurography will identify a ventrally located compressive lesion and discography can delineate the dorsal extent of the diseased disc; however, both are sometimes difficult to interpret. Therefore, more than one of these imaging techniques must be used in order to make a diagnosis. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have become valuable in evaluating the lumbosacral region in dogs. These modalities have proven to be both sensitive and specific for determining cauda equina compression in both humans and in dogs.}, number={4}, journal={Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound}, author={Ramirez, Oscar and THRALL, Donald E.}, year={1998}, month={Jul} } @article{hardie_ramirez_clary_kornegay_correa_feimster_robertson_1998, title={Abnormalities of the Thoracic Bellows: Stress Fractures of the Ribs and Hiatal Hernia}, DOI={10.1111/j.1939-1676.1998.tb02123.x}, abstractNote={Abstarct The thoracic bellows mechanism consists of the rib cage and the diaphragm. The purpose of this study was to determine if nontraumatically acquired lesions of the bellows were secondary to underlying disease. Abnormalities of the bellows, specifically stress fractures of the ribs and hiatal hernia, were found in 21 dogs and cats with underlying cardiopulmonary disease, neuromuscular disease, or metabolic disease. A case-control study of Bulldogs demonstrated that hiatal hernia was associated with the more severe manifestations of brachycephalic syndrome. Stress fractures occurred mostly in females and in cats, and involved multiple ribs. Fractures were usually related to severe respiratory effort, but also occurred in association with metabolic disease. Hiatal hernia was also associated with severe respiratory effort, but may be exacerbated if a neuromuscular disorder affecting the diaphragm is present. Abnormalities of the thoracic bellows, such as rib stress fractures and hiatal hernia, may be signs of underlying disease, rather than being primary causes of disease.}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine}, author={Hardie, Elizabeth M. and Ramirez, Oscar and Clary, Erik M. and Kornegay, Joseph N. and Correa, Maria T. and Feimster, R.

However, in many horses radiographic changes such as soft tissue opacification of the guttural pouch region, irregular bone margination at the sphenoccipital line, attenuation of the nasopharynx, ventral displacement of the dorsal pharyngeal wall and the presence of irregularly shaped bone fragments in the region of the guttural pouches are suggestive of a fracture of the skull base. These findings in conjunction with physical examination findings and historical information may lead to a presumptive diagnosis of a fracture.
