I was almost positive that Jeszel had SM, but it was officially confirmed.
We've decided to try prilosec along with the Gabapentin since Jeszel has excess brain fluid. Tagamet and diuretics did not improve her syptoms.
The report is still a bit confusing to me. My breeder asked how severe, but I'll have to call the doctor again to be able to know if this is all considered severe or not. Here are the findings:
On MR images of the head there is mild impingement on the cerebellum caused by the conformation of the occipital bone. There is enlargement of the lateral and third ventricles. Although not specifically included for evaluation there is increased T2 signal in the dorsal portion of the spinal cord in the rostral cervical spine. There are no other abnormalities seen.
There is mild occipital malformation causing impingement of the cerebellum, with resulting ventricular enlargement and probable syringomyelia in the cervical spinal cord. MRI of the cervical spine could be considered for a more definitive evaluation of the severity and extent of syringomyelia.
