A 1-year-old cat was presented with general discomfort but no neurologic deficits on physical examination. An extradural spinal cord compression at the level of T10-11 and T11-12 was evident on myelography and computed tomography examination. Hemilaminectomy was performed to decompress the spinal cord. Histopathology of the abnormal pedicle and lamina revealed vertebral angiomatosis. This rare vascular malformation was the cause of the spinal cord compression in this cat. It is seen in cats less than 2 years of age and affected the thoracic spine in all four previously reported cases.
一只1岁的猫出现全身不适,但体格检查未发现神经功能缺损。脊髓造影和计算机断层扫描检查显示,在T10 - 11和T11 - 12水平存在硬膜外脊髓压迫。实施半椎板切除术以减压脊髓。异常椎弓根和椎板的组织病理学检查显示为椎体血管瘤。这种罕见的血管畸形是这只猫脊髓压迫的原因。它见于2岁以下的猫,在之前报道的所有4例病例中均累及胸椎。
