The purpose of this paper was to define the normal three-dimensional computed tomographic reconstruction of the equine cervical spine. Two millimetres thick transverse images of two foals were obtained. Images provided excellent anatomic detail of cervical spine and relevant anatomic structures were identified. Tridimensional reconstruction can be a valuable diagnostic aid for clinical evaluation of several spinal disturbances in foals. In addition, this technique can be used as a tool for teaching anatomy in veterinary schools.
