Overview

Prospective observational study highlights myelographic area differences in horses with CVCM, suggesting diagnostic thresholds.

Key Points

  • Cone beam CT myelography revealed significant differences in morphometric dimensions between horses with CVCM and controls.
  • Key diagnostic thresholds for CVCM included full myelographic area <294 mm² and dural area <188 mm².
  • The study established that compressed sites had significantly reduced spinal cord and myelographic areas than non-compressed sites.
  • Despite the small sample size, the findings support the use of cone beam CT in diagnosing CVCM effectively.
