Plain-English summary
Five dogs with sinonasal aspergillosis, a fungal infection affecting the nasal passages, were treated with a clotrimazole solution. This treatment was given either once or multiple times, and all dogs remained neurologically healthy after the therapy. The dogs had been diagnosed with cribriform plate lysis, a condition where a part of the skull is damaged. The outcome showed that clotrimazole was effective and safe for these dogs, helping to manage their infection without causing any neurological issues.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To describe the treatment of sinonasal aspergillosis with topical 1% clotrimazole solution in dogs with cribriform plate lysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study includes data retrieval from medical records of dogs with sinonasal aspergillosis and cribriform plate lysis that underwent topical treatment with 1% clotrimazole solution. RESULTS: Five dogs with sinonasal aspergillosis, cribriform plate lysis diagnosed on CT scans, and normal neurologic examinations were treated with a single (n=3) or multiple (n=2) infusions of clotrimazole solution. No dogs developed clinical neurologic disease after therapy. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: In this study, a topical clotrimazole solution was not associated with adverse neurologic effects in neurologically normal dogs with sinonasal aspergillosis and cribriform plate lysis.
