Hydromyelia in the dog. [Erratum: May/June 1997, v. 38 (3), p. 238.]

Hydromyelia is a dilation of the spinal cord central canal. In man this may be due to congenital malformations such as Dandy‐Walker syndrome and Chiari malformations or may be acquired as result of infection, trauma or neoplasia. In dogs hydromyelia may be accidentally diagnosed during routine ciste...

Description
Summary:Hydromyelia is a dilation of the spinal cord central canal. In man this may be due to congenital malformations such as Dandy‐Walker syndrome and Chiari malformations or may be acquired as result of infection, trauma or neoplasia. In dogs hydromyelia may be accidentally diagnosed during routine cisterna magna myelography. Hydromyelia, and its possible etiology, may be confirmed by means of computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Three dogs with hydromyelia due to differing etiologies are described.
