    Cervical vertebral malformations can cause spinal cord compression and neurological deficits. Surgical treatments are often successful when medical therapy fails for these conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Neurology
    • Comparative Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Cervical vertebral malformations (CVMs) are a significant cause of spinal cord compression.
    • Clinical signs of CVMs include progressive neurologic deficits.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical recognition and diagnostic methods for CVMs.
    • To discuss the efficacy of various treatment modalities for CVMs.

    Main Methods:

    • Diagnosis is confirmed through radiographic and myelographic evaluation.
    • Assessment of treatment outcomes for surgical interventions.

    Main Results:

    • Medical therapy is generally unsuccessful in resolving CVMs.
    • Surgical interventions have demonstrated successful outcomes in managing CVMs.

    Conclusions:

    • Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for managing CVMs.
    • Surgical management offers a viable and successful therapeutic option for CVMs causing spinal cord compression.
