Neurological causes of lameness are infrequently seen in cats but they are an important consideration when an obvious orthopaedic cause cannot be identified. Monoparetic cats are also frequently presented for veterinary investigation with the main complaint being lameness.
Neurological causes of lameness may be difficult to determine without access to advanced imaging modalities, electrodiagnostics or cerebrospinal fluid analysis.
This review, aimed at all veterinarians who treat cats, sets out to describe the specific approach to cats with lameness that cannot be attributed to an orthopaedic cause. It describes the diagnosis and management of the most common neurological conditions responsible for lameness or monoparesis in cats.
猫跛行的神经学原因并不常见,但当无法确定明显的骨科病因时,它们是重要的考虑因素。单肢轻瘫的猫也经常因跛行这一主要症状而被送去兽医处检查。
如果没有先进的成像方式、电诊断或脑脊液分析,可能很难确定跛行的神经学原因。
本综述面向所有治疗猫的兽医,旨在描述针对无法归因于骨科病因的跛行猫的具体方法。它描述了导致猫跛行或单肢轻瘫的最常见神经疾病的诊断和管理。
