A 10-year-old domestic longhair cat was presented for investigations into a 4-day history of acute-onset lethargy, hyporexia and right pelvic limb lameness. Based upon the neurological examination, a right femoral nerve localisation was suspected. Pelvic radiographs identified a dorsally displaced L5-L6 intervertebral disc, with subsequent MRI suggestive of a right L5-L6 neuritis secondary foraminal intervertebral disc extrusion. Medical management, consisting of rest and analgesia, resulted in near-complete resolution of clinical signs in 37 days.
To our knowledge, this is the first report of a lumbar foraminal intervertebral disc extrusion in a cat and should be considered on the differential list for acute-onset pelvic limb lameness in the absence of neurological deficits.
一只10岁的家养长毛猫因出现4天的急性嗜睡、食欲减退和右后肢跛行而前来接受检查。根据神经学检查，怀疑是右侧股神经定位问题。骨盆X光片显示L5-L6椎间盘向背侧移位，随后的磁共振成像提示右侧L5-L6神经炎继发于椎间孔椎间盘突出。包括休息和镇痛在内的药物治疗在37天内使临床症状几乎完全缓解。
据我们所知，这是猫腰椎椎间孔椎间盘突出的首例报告，在没有神经功能缺损的急性后肢跛行的鉴别诊断清单中应考虑这一情况。
