The diagnosis and surgical treatment of spinal epidural empyema (SEE) in a 2-year-old neutered male domestic shorthaired cat is described. SEE was diagnosed by computed tomographic myelography (CT myelography) and surgical exploration. The lesion was missed on both non-enhanced CT and conventional myelography. SEE should be considered in the differential diagnosis of progressive myelopathy in cats, and CT myelography should be undertaken when magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cannot be performed.
描述了一只2岁已绝育的雄性家养短毛猫的脊柱硬膜外脓肿（SEE）的诊断和手术治疗。通过计算机断层扫描脊髓造影（CT脊髓造影）和手术探查诊断出SEE。在非增强CT和传统脊髓造影中均未发现该病变。在猫进行性脊髓病的鉴别诊断中应考虑SEE，当无法进行磁共振成像（MRI）时应进行CT脊髓造影。
