Central cord syndrome: clinical features, etiological diagnosis, and outcome in 74 dogs

Abstract: OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical and neurologic signs, diagnostic investigations, definitive or presumptive diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of dogs presented with acute onset central cord syndrome (CCS). ANIMALS 74 client-owned dogs evaluated for CCS at 5 referral hospitals between January 2016 and March 2021. PROCEDURES Data were collected from the medical records of each dog, including patient signalment, physical and neurologic examination results, presence of signs of respiratory failure, diagnosti… Show more

“…7 These patients may show more paresis in the TLs than in the PLs and therefore signs consistent with CCS due to the involvement of the lower motor neurons of the TLs, which are in the gray matter of the cervical intumescence. Central cord syndrome can also occur with lesions affecting the C1-C5 spinal cord segments, 6 as described in the present study. Patients with C1-C5 myelopathy show absent or delayed postural reactions with normal spinal reflexes in all 4 limbs, causing UMN signs in all 4 limbs.…”

“…These findings differ from what has been reported for dogs, for which the most common condition associated with peracute CCS was Hansen type I intervertebral disc herniation, followed by hydrated nucleus pulposus extrusion. 6 These differences may be explained by the low prevalence of intervertebral disc disease in cats compared to dogs. 1,2,10 The incidence of intervertebral disc disease in cats is reported to be 0.12% to 0.24%, 11,12 compared with 2% in dogs.…”
