  • Title: Hydrated nucleus pulposus herniation in seven dogs.
    Author: Manunta ML, Evangelisti MA, Bergknut N, Grinwis GC, Ballocco I, Meij BP.
    Journal: Vet J; 2015 Mar; 203(3):342-4. PubMed ID: 25599897.
    Abstract:
    The clinical signs, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, treatment and follow-up in seven dogs with hydrated nucleus pulposus extrusion (HNPE) are reported. All dogs had tetraparesis or tetraplegia. T2-weighted MRI revealed extradural hyperintense homogeneous material compressing the cervical spinal cord. After conservative treatment (five dogs) or surgical decompression (two dogs), all dogs returned to ambulatory function within 1 month. Follow-up MRI in conservatively treated dogs revealed complete disappearance of the extruded material. Histopathological examination of surgical specimens confirmed that the retrieved material was extruded nucleus pulposus with evidence of early degeneration.
