Seven related young pugs were diagnosed with cervical spinal intradural arachnoid cysts by magnetic resonance imaging (n = 6) and myelography (n = 1). All dogs were presented with skin abrasions on their thoracic limbs and non-painful neurological deficits, indicating a C1-T2 myelopathy. In all six dogs examined by magnetic resonance imaging not only the spinal arachnoid cyst but also a concomitant, most likely secondary, syringohydromyelia was confirmed. Pedigree analysis suggested a genetic predisposition for spinal arachnoid cysts in this family of pugs. Generalised proprioceptive deficits more pronounced in the thoracic limbs suggesting a focal cervical spinal cord lesion, with concomitant skin abrasions on the dorsal aspect of the thoracic limbs in a young pug, should alert veterinarians to the possibility of cervical spinal arachnoid cysts.
通过磁共振成像（n = 6）和脊髓造影（n = 1）诊断出7只相关的年轻哈巴狗患有颈段脊髓硬膜内蛛网膜囊肿。所有犬只均出现胸肢皮肤擦伤和无痛性神经功能缺损，提示C1 - T2脊髓病。在通过磁共振成像检查的所有6只犬中，不仅证实存在脊髓蛛网膜囊肿，还同时存在最可能为继发性的脊髓空洞症。系谱分析表明，该哈巴狗家族中脊髓蛛网膜囊肿具有遗传易感性。年轻哈巴狗出现胸肢更明显的全身性本体感觉缺损提示局灶性颈段脊髓病变，同时胸肢背侧有皮肤擦伤，应提醒兽医注意颈段脊髓蛛网膜囊肿的可能性。
