Abstract

Thís report describes an unsual case of cranioman- dibular osteopathy in a two month-old female West Highland White Terrier puppy. The patient presented initially a swelling of both forelimbs and lameness. Irregular osseous proliferation in the ulna and radius in both limbs was observed. The tympanic bullae and the bones of the calvarium and tentorium were thickened and hyperostotic. The treatment was symptomatic with prednisona, and there was a clínical improvement. One year later of diagnosis,there was remarkable but incomplete resolution of the long bone and tympanic bullae changes.
