Hemorrhagic Myelomalacia in a Bichon Frise Following Lumbar Spinal Tap-A Case Report.
Topics in Companion Animal Medicine 2019 March
A 10-year-old spayed female Bichon Frise presented to the neurology service for back pain and pelvic limb weakness for approximately 2 months duration. Neurologic examination revealed T3-L3 and L4-S3 myelopathies with multifocal spinal pain. Magnetic resonance imaging of the vertebral column revealed multiple mild disc protrusions but no obvious cause for the neurologic deficits. Attempts to collect cerebrospinal fluid from the lumbar spine and cerebellomedullary cistern were unsuccessful. Following anesthesia, the dog was noted to be paraplegic with flaccid pelvic limb muscle tone and absent nociception. Repeat magnetic resonance imaging the following day revealed suspect hemorrhage ventral to the spinal cord cranial to the site of the lumbar spinal tap. Exploratory hemilaminectomy revealed purplish discoloration of the dura. Durotomy was performed and severe myelomalacia of the spinal cord was noted. To the author's knowledge, this is the first reported case of myelomalacia suspected secondary to lumbar spinal tap in a dog.
