Abstract:
A 15-week-old Manx kitten was presented for evaluation of progressive hind limb paresis and ataxia. Spinal radiographs and computed tomography revealed a malformation of T3 causing thoracic spinal cord compression. Decompressive surgery consisting of dorsal laminectomy, without vertebral stabilisation, resulted in improvement of clinical signs.
