Caudal paraparesis in a cat was determined to be caused by an epidural mass. Surgical decompression was performed, and the mass was determined to be a granuloma. Fusobacterium and Bacteroides spp were isolated from the granuloma. Epidural granulomas are seldom reported in dogs and cats. Decompression and administration of antibiotics led to recovery of this cat even though in human beings an unfavorable prognosis is given if neurologic deficits have developed.
一只猫的尾部轻瘫被确定是由硬膜外肿块引起的。进行了手术减压，肿块被确定为肉芽肿。从肉芽肿中分离出了梭杆菌属和拟杆菌属。硬膜外肉芽肿在犬猫中很少有报道。减压和使用抗生素使这只猫得以康复，尽管在人类中，如果已经出现神经功能缺损，预后不佳。
