Cerebral Cranium Volumes between Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
with Chiari-Like Malformation, Small Breed Dogs and Labradors
Cross H.R., Cappello R. and Rusbridge C.  J Small Anim Pract,
2009. 50(8): p.399-405.  OBJECTIVES: To ascertain whether
cavalier King Charles spaniels (CKCSs) have a proportionately
smaller caudal fossa compared with other small dogs and with
Labradors. To evaluate if cerebellar herniation in CKCS
correlates with caudal fossa volume. METHODS: In this
retrospective study, three-dimensional images were created from
magnetic resonance imaging brain series of 117 dogs (split into
three groups: CKCS, Labradors and small breeds) from which the
volumes of the fossae and brain parenchyma were calculated.
These volumes were transformed into percentages of total cranial
cavity and parenchyma volumes, respectively. The percentages
were statistically compared among the grou
