A 5 year old, neutered male, domestic shorthaired cat had acute left hemiparesis and Horner's syndrome. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a loss of the normal signal from the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc at C3/4, narrowing of the ventral subarachnoid space and slight dorsal displacement of the spinal cord and a focal hyperintense lesion affecting the left side of the spinal cord at the same level. The presumptive diagnosis was focal spinal cord oedema associated with intervertebral disc extrusion. A traumatic aetiology was suspected. The cat was treated conservatively and improved gradually over a period of 6 months.
一只5岁已绝育的雄性家养短毛猫出现急性左侧偏瘫和霍纳综合征。磁共振成像(MRI)显示,C3/4椎间盘髓核正常信号消失,腹侧蛛网膜下腔变窄,脊髓轻度背侧移位,以及同一水平脊髓左侧的局灶性高信号病变。初步诊断为与椎间盘突出相关的局灶性脊髓水肿。怀疑有创伤性病因。这只猫接受了保守治疗,并在6个月的时间里逐渐康复。
