The mediastinal lines visible at conventional radiography represent the interfaces between the mediastinum and adjacent lung parenchyma. Preservation, obliteration, thickening and distortion of these lines represent the key to detecting and localising mediastinal abnormalities on chest radiographs.

A six-month-old puppy was presented for investigation of a seizure disorder. Neurological examination indicated persistent cerebral dysfunction in the absence of any identifiable metabolic disorder and magnetic resonance imaging revealed extension of the rostral lobes of the cerebrum into the nasal cavity. Despite symptomatic treatment, the puppy continued to exhibit seizures ...
