Craniomandibular osteopathy in dogs, Onl J Vet Res., 19(12):796-801, 2015. Craniomandibular osteopathy is a
non-neoplastic, proliferative bone disease of young dogs which affects
endochondral bones, causing irregular, bilateral bone proliferation, especially
in mandible, temporal bone and occipital bone. Signs appear in dogs from three
to ten months of age, with no sex predilection. Clinical signs include pain on
palpation, pain when opening the mouth, intermittent fever, drooling and
swelling of jaw. Diagnosis is made by radiographic examination of skull that
shows intense periosteal proliferation, adjacent to mandibular rami and
tympanic bullae. Treatment is non-specific, with the administration of
analgesics and nutritional support to the patient stabilization. Prognosis is
poor for dogs with radiographic evidence of partial or complete ankylosis of the temporomandibular joints. We cases of craniomandibular osteopathy in dogs and provide a
consistent review about the condition.
