Introduction
Granulomatous Meningoencephalitis is an inflammatory disease of the Central Nervous System of dogs that involves the swelling of the tissue lining the central nervous system and the brain. GME is characterized by dense aggregates of inflammatory cells arranged in whirling patterns around blood vessels.
Granulomatous Meningoencephalitis is of three types
- Disseminated – There is an accumulation of mononuclear cells around the blood vessels of the Central nervous system.
- Focal – This type of GME mimics a tumor that develops slowly over several months.
- Ocular – This is an uncommon form of GME caused by optic neuritis (can cause sudden blindness).
The lesions of Granulomatous Meningoencephalitis exist mostly in the white matter of the cerebellum, spinal cord, and brain stem.
Ayurvedic Aspect
The brain related disorders in humans and animals occur due to the imbalance of Vatadi doshas in the body due to improper lifestyle and diet. Following improper rules for living will aggravate doshas that will hinder the normal functioning of all the hormones, organs, and disturb dhatus.
