Fig. 6-33 A 13-year-old neutered<br />

female Miniature Dachshund with<br />

acute paraparesis. A, The lateral<br />

myelogram revealed an enlargement<br />

of the subarachnoid space immediately<br />

cranial to L2-3 (white arrow).<br />

B, The ventrodorsal myelogram<br />

revealed mild swelling of the spinal<br />

cord at this site (white arrows). These<br />

findings suggest a forceful extrusion<br />

of disc material into the spinal cord<br />

substance at this site. Other differential<br />

diagnoses include neoplasia <strong>and</strong><br />

granuloma. Diagnosis: Extrusion of<br />

the L2-3 intervertebral disc into the<br />

substance of the spinal cord.<br />
