    Abstract:
    A 7-month-old intact male Otterhound was presented for diagnosis of progressive hindlimb paresis. The neurological examination revealed a severe ambulatory paraparesis localised to the left-sided region of the lower motor neuron (L4-S1). Magnetic resonance imaging was suggestive for an intradural-extramedullary neoplasia at the fifth lumbar vertebra. Surgical exploration demonstrated an intradural-extramedullary mass, which partially invaded the spinal cord. The mass was removed with the exception of the intramedullar part, and the diagnosis of a nephroblastoma was made histopathologically. Following radiation therapy, the dog fully recovered and displayed no signs of neurological dysfunction 9 months after surgery.
