Area of Science:

Veterinary Neurology
Comparative Oncology
Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

Paraspinal lymphoma is a rare condition in small ruminants.
Hindlimb paralysis in goats can stem from various neurological causes.
Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate treatment and prognosis.

Purpose of the Study:

To report a case of paraspinal lymphoma in a goat presenting with hindlimb paralysis.
To describe the specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings associated with this condition.
To contribute to the understanding of spinal tumors in veterinary medicine.

Main Methods:

A 3-year-old Pygmy Wether presented with chronic hindlimb paralysis.
Neurological examination localized the lesion to the T3-L3 region.

Advanced diagnostic imaging, including MRI of the lumbar spine, was performed.

Cytological sampling confirmed the diagnosis of lymphoma.

Main Results:

Neurological examination revealed paraplegia with absent nociception and paraspinal pain.
MRI demonstrated a compressive, extradural lesion with intervertebral foraminal and vertebral bone marrow extension.
The lesion exhibited heterogeneous contrast enhancement.
Cytology confirmed lymphoma as the cause of the lesion.

Conclusions:

This is the first case report detailing MRI characteristics of paraspinal lymphoma in a goat.
The findings highlight the utility of MRI in diagnosing spinal tumors in goats.
Understanding these specific MRI features can aid in early diagnosis and management of similar cases.
