A 16-year-old horse was diagnosed with Hansen type I cervical intervertebral disc disease, a condition causing paresis and ataxia. Diagnosis was confirmed via radiographs, myelography, and post-mortem examination.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Neurology
  • Equine Medicine
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) is a common condition in horses.
  • Hansen type I IVDD is characterized by a Type I degeneration of the nucleus pulposus.
  • Cervical IVDD can lead to significant neurological deficits.

Observation:

  • A 16-year-old American Saddler presented with paresis and ataxia.
  • Clinical signs indicated a potential spinal cord issue.
  • The horse exhibited progressive neurological deficits consistent with cervical myelopathy.

Findings:

  • Ante-mortem diagnosis of Hansen type I cervical intervertebral disc prolapse was achieved using plain radiographs and myelography.
  • Radiographic findings included characteristic changes associated with disc degeneration and protrusion.

  • Myelography confirmed the location and extent of the spinal cord compression.

    • Implications:

    • Early and accurate diagnosis of cervical intervertebral disc prolapse is crucial for prognosis and management in horses.
    • This case highlights the utility of plain radiography and myelography in diagnosing equine IVDD.
    • Understanding the pathogenesis of Hansen type I IVDD aids in developing targeted treatment strategies and preventative measures.
