The use of the single‐shot turbo spin‐echo pulse sequence, which is a heavily T2‐weighted sequence, allows for a rapid, noninvasive evaluation of the subarachnoid space by using the high signal from cerebrospinal fluid. This sequence can be completed in seconds rather than the several minutes required for a T2‐fast spin‐echo sequence. Unlike the standard T2‐fast spin‐echo sequence, a single‐shot turbo spin‐echo pulse sequence also provides qualitative information about the protein and the cellular content of the cerebrospinal fluid, such as in patients with inflammatory debris or hemorrhage in the cerebrospinal fluid. Although the resolution of the single‐shot turbo spin‐echo pulse sequence images is relatively poor compared with more conventional sequences, the qualitative information about the subarachnoid space and cerebrospinal fluid and the rapid acquisition time, make it a useful sequence to include in standard protocols of spinal magnetic resonance imaging.}, number={3}, journal={VETERINARY RADIOLOGY & ULTRASOUND}, author={Pease, A and Sullivan, S and Olby, N and Galano, H and Cerda-Gonzalez, S and Robertson, ID and Gavin, P and Thrall, D}, year={2006}, pages={254–259} }

Physical examination revealed thoracic limb rigidity, contracture of the carpi, generalized muscle atrophy, and rhythmic rippling of the muscles of all 4 limbs. Results of a CBC and serum biochemistry profile were unremarkable other than high creatine kinase activity. Electromyography revealed unique high-frequency discharges, including rhythmic bursts of single motor unit potentials appearing as doublets (myokymia) and more prolonged bursts of nonrhythmic motor unit potentials with characteristic waning amplitudes (neuromyotonia). Histologic examination of muscle biopsy specimens revealed noninflammatory necrotizing myopathy with regeneration. The cat did not respond to treatment with carbamazepine or prednisone but improved rapidly after treatment with phenytoin was initiated. Six months after initial examination, electromyography revealed a substantial decrease in the amount of spontaneous activity in previously affected muscles. However, the myokymic and neuromyotonic discharges were still present, albeit with a substantial decrease in frequency.}, number={10}, journal={Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association}, publisher={American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)}, author={Galano, Heather R. and Olby, Natasha J. and Howard, James F. and Shelton, G.

Lesion localization was determined to be the cerebellomedullary pontine angle. In computed tomographic images, a well‐defined, circular, hypoattenuating mass was visible at the cerebellomedullary pontine angle. The lesion, which was isoattenuating to cerebrospinal fluid, was 4 × 8 mm in diameter. Peripheral ring enhancement was evident after contrast medium administration.
