A 19-yr-old captive male Syrian bear ( Ursus arctos syriacus) presented with a right hind limb lameness that progressed to nonambulatory paraparesis over the course of 2 wk. When night enclosure confinement and a short course of glucocorticoids and antibiotics did not lead to improvement, radiographs were performed, followed by cerebrospinal fluid analysis and myelography, revealing a dynamic spinal cord compression at the level of T2-T3. Dorsal laminectomy of both T2 and T3 was performed to allow decompression. The bear recovered uneventfully with first sign of neurological improvement apparent at 10 days postoperatively. Following 6 mo of rehabilitation the bear was walking and using his hind limbs normally.
一只19岁的圈养雄性叙利亚棕熊（棕熊叙利亚亚种）出现右后肢跛行，在2周内发展为非行走性轻截瘫。当夜间圈养限制以及短期使用糖皮质激素和抗生素治疗均未见改善时，进行了X光检查，随后进行了脑脊液分析和脊髓造影，结果显示在T2 - T3水平存在动态脊髓压迫。对T2和T3进行了椎板切除术以实现减压。术后10天出现神经功能改善的首个迹象，熊恢复顺利。经过6个月的康复治疗后，这只熊能够正常行走并使用其后肢。
