Abstract

An adult, captive-born Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) had been ataxic for approximately 3 mo and had been self-mutilating after an acute onset of unilateral paresis and Homer's syndrome. Histologic lesions in the cervical spinal cord were consistent with fibrocartilaginous embolic myelopathy (FCEM), and they included the presence of cartilaginous occlusion of spinal blood vessels. This is the first reported case of FCEM in a large felid and specifically a Sumatran tiger.

摘要

一只圈养出生的成年苏门答腊虎（Panthera tigris sumatrae）共济失调约3个月，在单侧轻瘫和霍纳综合征急性发作后出现自残行为。颈脊髓的组织学病变与纤维软骨栓塞性脊髓病（FCEM）相符，包括脊髓血管的软骨性闭塞。这是首次报道的大型猫科动物，特别是苏门答腊虎患FCEM的病例。
