Fracture and luxation of the second cervical vertebra of a dog were repaired with braided polyester sutures. After 28 months, the dog became ataxic. Compression of the spinal cord at C1-2 was seen on a myelogram. Surgical exploration of the area revealed a granuloma associated with the sutures and compressing the spinal cord. After the granuloma was removed, the dog recovered and has remained neurologically normal for 21 months. The abnormal tissue was determined histologically to be a pyogranuloma.
用编织聚酯缝线修复了一只狗第二颈椎的骨折和脱位。28个月后，这只狗出现共济失调。脊髓造影显示C1-2水平脊髓受压。对该区域进行手术探查发现一个与缝线相关并压迫脊髓的肉芽肿。肉芽肿切除后，这只狗恢复了，并且在21个月内神经系统一直保持正常。经组织学检查，异常组织被确定为脓性肉芽肿。
