It has been suggested that a combination of large head and long neck cause abnormal forces on the cervical vertebral column and are involved in the pathogenesis of cervical spondylomyelopathy (CSM) in Great Danes. The aim of this study was to compare the body conformation of 15 clinically normal and 15 CSM-affected Great Danes. There were no statistically significant differences between clinically normal and CSM-affected Great Danes in any body measurements. There were no significant associations between body conformation and the severity of neurological signs or cervical vertebral body dimensions determined by magnetic resonance imaging in CSM-affected Great Danes. The results of this study do not support the hypothesis that differences in body conformation related to head size, neck length, and body height and length, play a role in the pathogenesis of CSM in Great Danes.
有人提出，大头和长脖子的组合会对颈椎柱施加异常力量，并参与大丹犬颈椎病（CSM）的发病机制。本研究的目的是比较15只临床正常的大丹犬和15只患有CSM的大丹犬的身体形态。临床正常的大丹犬和患有CSM的大丹犬在任何身体测量方面均无统计学上的显著差异。在患有CSM的大丹犬中，身体形态与神经症状的严重程度或通过磁共振成像确定的颈椎椎体尺寸之间没有显著关联。本研究结果不支持以下假设：与头部大小、颈部长度、身体高度和长度相关的身体形态差异在大丹犬CSM的发病机制中起作用。
