Overview

Case report reveals rare intradural-extramedullary intervertebral disc herniation, highlighting diagnostic challenges using MRI in cats.

Key Points

  • The case demonstrates complete resolution of clinical signs after surgery for an intradural-extramedullary disc extrusion.
  • MRI revealed a compressive mass in the lumbosacral space associated with tail paresis and pain.
  • Laminectomy and histopathology confirmed the presence of degenerative intervertebral disc material in the subarachnoid space.
  • The surgery provides insights into uncommon intervertebral disc herniation in cats, potentially guiding future diagnostics.
