          Abstract

          Alterações neurológicas em cães são comuns na rotina da clínica médica, sendo necessário identificar o sítio de lesão quando da ocorrência de neuropatias por compressão em estruturas do Sistema Nervoso Central (SNC). O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar um estudo epidemiológico das alterações neurológicas compressivas em medula espinal de cães domiciliados em Salvador e região metropolitana: Discopatias, Neoplasias e Traumas identificadas através da Tomografia Computadorizada (TC). Foram avaliados 17 cães de diversas raças com idade entre 2 e 10 anos e de ambos os sexos, atendidos na rotina de dois serviços médicos-veterinários e encaminhados para realização do exame conforme indicação clínica. Imagens em cortes com espessura variando de 0,5 a 2mm em rotação foram produzidas com o Tomógrafo. Dos animais que apresentaram discopatia 12/17 (70,58%), por mielopatia extradural 6/12 (50 %), foram da raça Dachshund com idade média 7,33±1,97 anos e para todos os outros a ocorrência foi pontual; 23,53 % de osteopatias vertebrais, neoplasias ósseas e fraturas, e 5,89% correspondente a neoplasia de medula. Houve uma maior frequência de lesões nos segmentos C4-C6 3/12 (25%), T12-T13 (25 %) e L2-L3 (25 %) dos casos.

          Neurological disorders in dogs are common in veterinary medical practice routine, being necessary to identify the site of injury in the event of compression on structures of the central nervous system (CNS). The aim of this work was an epidemiological study of neurological changes in compressive spinal cord of pet dogs in Salvador and the metropolitan area. Discopathies, neoplasms and trauma were identified by Computed Tomography (CT). We evaluated 17 dogs of various breeds, aged between 2 and 10 years old and of both sexes, from two veterinary medical routine services and forwarded to the examination as clinically indicated. Slice images with a thickness ranging from 0.5 to 2mm were produced in rotation with the tomograph. Animals that showed disc disease (70.58%) for extradural myelopathy 6/12 (50%) were the breed Dachshund, mean age 7.33±1.97 years and for all other occurrence was timely; 23.53% of vertebral bone disease, bone tumors and fractures, and 5.89% corresponding to neoplasm marrow. There was a higher incidence of injuries segments L2-L3 (25%), followed by C4-C6 (16.67%), T12-T13 (16.67%), L7-S1 (16.67%) of cases.

            Intervertebral disk disease.

            Neurologic dysfunction is the most common clinical manifestation of intervertebral disk disease. This article is a comprehensive review of intervertebral disk disease emphasizing clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of cervical and thoracolumbar disk disease. Clinical signs are determined by neuroanatomic localization and severity of spinal cord injury. Myelography is most commonly used for determining the location and extent of the disk protrusion/extrusion; however, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are also common adjunctive and primary diagnostic techniques. Summaries from recent studies will give the clinician an improved understanding on how to confront controversial issues regarding prophylactic and therapeutic management and prognosis.
