    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary neurology
    • Developmental neurobiology

    Background:

    • Myelodysplasia is a congenital disorder affecting spinal cord development.
    • Spinal cord malformations can lead to significant neurological deficits in young animals.

    Observation:

    • A 5-month-old part-Thoroughbred foal presented with a rare case of myelodysplasia.
    • The condition involved extensive syringomyelic and hydromyelic cavities within the spinal cord.

    Findings:

    • The central cavity spanned from the seventh cervical (C7) to the seventh thoracic (T7) spinal cord segments.
    • Abnormalities included an enlarged and misshapen central canal and disorganized grey and white matter differentiation.
    • The precise etiology of this developmental defect remains undetermined.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the spectrum of spinal cord malformations in foals.
    • Understanding such anomalies is crucial for diagnosis and potential management in veterinary neurology.
    • Further research may elucidate the genetic or environmental factors contributing to equine myelodysplasia.
