A Schmorl's node is the herniation of nucleus pulposus through the cartilaginous end plate of the vertebral disc into the body of the adjacent vertebra. Their formation is relatively common in people, and they may be symptomatic or asymptomatic. In contrast, there are few reported cases of Schmorl's nodes in non-human animals. This report describes a case of thoracic intervertebral disc degeneration, with Schmorl's node formation in a sheep.
施莫尔氏结节是椎间盘的髓核通过软骨终板疝入相邻椎体。它们在人群中相对常见，可能有症状也可能无症状。相比之下，非人类动物中施莫尔氏结节的报道病例很少。本报告描述了一例绵羊胸椎椎间盘退变并伴有施莫尔氏结节形成的病例。
