SUMMARY

Jark PC,  Tertuliano Marinho PV, Tiai Kihara M, Avante ML, Santos Rolemberg D, da Câmara Barros FFP, Brito MB, Costa MT, Covino Diamante GA, Canola JC. Case Studies: 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.

Keywords: self - limiting, dog, bone proliferation.
