“…Based on previous literature, our differential diagnosis included inflammatory infectious or neoplastic disorders, with degenerative disc disease being less likely.

In our rabbit, MRI correctly identified the cause of the neuro-…”

A 4‐year‐old lionhead rabbit with an acute onset of abnormal hindlimb gait was presented. L4–S3 neurolocalisation was determined based on clinical findings of paraparesis, bilateral proprioceptive positioning deficits, left pelvic limb hyporeflexia and discomfort during lumbar spine manipulation. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an intervertebral disc extrusion (IVDE) at L4–L5, with mild spinal cord compression. The condition was treated conservatively, with cage rest and non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs. The rabbit was fully normal after 1 month. Two months later, a relapse of clinical signs was observed. A new MRI study revealed a L5–L6 IVDE with mild spinal cord compression. Conservative treatment was repeated and full recovery was confirmed at 4‐month follow‐ups associated with MRI follow‐up study. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case report of spontaneous IVDEs in a rabbit, where MRI was used to monitor the effectiveness of the conservative management of the disease in a rabbit.

An 8-year-old rabbit presented with a 5-day history of acute difficulty in walking. Neurological examination revealed tetraparesis, proprioceptive deficits in both pelvic limbs and the right thoracic limb, decreased withdrawal reflex on the right thoracic limb and hyperreflexia in the pelvic limbs. A cervico-thoracic (C6-T2) localization was suspected. Computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were performed, revealing a right dorsolateral extradural lesion at the C6-C7 intervertebral disc space. Additionally, meningeal and paravertebral contrast enhancement was observed on MRI, while periosteal reaction was evident at the right C6-C7 facet joint on CT. The findings were primarily consistent with spinal cord compression due to the presence of extruded disc material. Following conservative treatment failure, a right-sided C6-C7 hemilaminectomy was performed to remove the compression and sample the extradural material. Histological examination confirmed the presence of degenerated and partially mineralized disc material mixed with granulation tissue. This is the first reported case of cervical disc extrusion in a rabbit, confirmed by histological examination.
