Canine cauda equina neuritis secondary to neospora

摘要

A five-year-old, female spayed, crossbreed dog was presented for lethargy, fever, hyporexia and right hindlimb lameness of two weeks’ duration. Examination revealed an intermittent weightbearing right hindlimb lameness with delayed proprioceptive reflexes. When the right hindlimb was placed, weightbearing was through the dorsal pes. The other limbs were neurologically normal. The neurological deficits localised to L6–S2. CT and myelogram revealed focal nerve root enlargement with contrast enhancement of L7–S1 nerve roots.
