Abstract

An 8-year-old neutered male Maltese dog presented with a month-long history of progressive nonambulatory tetraparesis. MRI revealed a well-defined, centrally nonenhanced, T1-weighted hypointense, extradural structure located in the vertebral canal at the level of the C5 vertebral body. CT demonstrated a hypoattenuating, space-occupying structure in the same area. Surgery revealed a long, narrow parasite in the epidural space. An adult Dirofilaria immitis was confirmed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. This is a novel report describing the MRI and CT features of cervical epidural dirofilariasis in a dog.

犬颈硬膜外二螺旋体病的计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像特征。

一只 8 岁的阉割雄性马尔济斯犬在一个月前出现进行性不能行走的四肢瘫痪。核磁共振成像（MRI）显示，C5椎体水平的椎管内有一个轮廓清晰、中心不强化、T1加权低密度的硬膜外结构。CT显示同一区域有一个低增强的占位结构。手术发现硬膜外腔有一条狭长的寄生虫。通过多重聚合酶链式反应（PCR）检测，确诊为成年包虫。这是一份描述狗颈部硬膜外二螺旋体病的 MRI 和 CT 特征的新报告。
