Figure 6.2.6 Gluteal Myositis (Feline) MR
15y FS American Shorthair with acute para-
paresis and lethargy. Dorsal plane images of
the pelvic musculature were acquired during
imaging of the spine. There is hyperintensity
of the right gluteal muscles on the contrast‐
enhanced images (a,b: arrow). The striated,
linear hyperintensities are also seen on the
comparable dorsal plane STIR images (c,d).
The cat was positive for Cryptococcus sp.;
however, the lameness resolved within 2
weeks and was presumed to be traumatic.
