Retrospective Study

Karen L. Cherrone, DVM, Curtis W. Dewey, DVM, MS, Diplomate ACVS, Diplomate ACVIM (Neurology), Joan R. Coates, DVM, MS, Diplomate ACVIM (Neurology) and Robert L. Bergman, DVM, MS, Diplomate ACVIM (Neurology)

From the Department of Surgery (Cherrone, Dewey), Long Island Veterinary Specialists, 163 South Service Road, Plainview, New York 11803; and the Department of Small Animal Medicine and Surgery (Coates, Bergman), College of Veterinary Medicine, Texas A & M University, College Station, Texas 77843-4474.

Medical records of 144 small-breed dogs (≤15 kg) and 46 medium- to large-breed dogs (>15 kg) with surgically confirmed, Hansen type I, cervical intervertebral disk extrusions were reviewed. The most common clinical presentation was cervical hyperesthesia. The most common sites affected were the second (C2) to third (C3) cervical intervertebral disk space in small-breed dogs and the sixth (C6) to seventh (C7) cervical intervertebral disk space in the larger dogs. Following surgery, 99% of the dogs had resolution of cervical hyperesthesia and were able to ambulate unassisted. Seven (4%) dogs required a second surgery; four of these were large-breed dogs.
