Two young German shepherd dog littermates had progressive, painless, hindlimb ataxia. In both dogs plain radiography of the vertebral column revealed a solitary mineralised lesion on the dorsal laminae between the dorsal spines of the second and third thoracic vertebrae, and myelography with iopamidol demonstrated cord compression at the level of the lesions. The first dog died 18 hours after the myelography. A dorsal laminectomy performed in the second dog resulted in neurological improvement. A histopathological examination confirmed that both lesions were calcinosis circumscripta. The cause of the death of the first dog was meningitis.
两只德国牧羊犬同窝幼犬出现进行性、无痛性后肢共济失调。对这两只犬进行脊柱X线平片检查，均显示第二和第三胸椎棘突之间的背侧椎板有单个矿化病变，使用碘帕醇进行脊髓造影显示病变水平处脊髓受压。第一只犬在脊髓造影后18小时死亡。对第二只犬实施了背侧椎板切除术，术后神经功能得到改善。组织病理学检查证实，两个病变均为局限性钙质沉着症。第一只犬的死亡原因是脑膜炎。
