Abstract

A 3-year-old Poitou donkey was referred for a computed tomography (CT) examination of the cervical spine due to acute deterioration of spinal ataxia. Neurological assessment revealed restricted neck mobility, hypermetria and circumduction of all limbs, indicating a grade 2 out of 5 ataxia. Abnormalities of the neurologic examination were most likely associated with spinal cord disease between C1 and C5. CT examination identified an asymmetric, congenital, occipitoatlantoaxial malformation (OAAM). A static extradural compression of the spinal cord secondary to the malformation was present. This case report represents an inaugural documentation of OAAM in a Poitou donkey.

脊柱共济失调和计算机断层扫描发现的坡头驴影响先天性枕寰枢畸形

一头3岁的坡头驴因脊柱共济失调急性恶化而接受颈椎CT检查。神经学评估显示颈部活动受限，血压升高，四肢环绕，提示5级中的2级共济失调。神经系统检查异常最有可能与C1和C5之间的脊髓疾病相关。CT检查发现不对称先天性枕寰枢畸形（OAAM）。脊髓硬膜外静态压迫继发于畸形。本病例报告是Poitou驴OAAM的首次文献报道。

期刊介绍： Equine Veterinary Education (EVE) is the official journal of post-graduate education of both the British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) and the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP). Equine Veterinary Education is a monthly, peer-reviewed, subscription-based journal, integrating clinical research papers, review articles and case reports from international sources, covering all aspects of medicine and surgery relating to equids. These papers facilitate the dissemination and implementation of new ideas and techniques relating to clinical veterinary practice, with the ultimate aim of promoting best practice. New developments are placed in perspective, encompassing new concepts and peer commentary. The target audience is veterinarians primarily engaged in the practise of equine medicine and surgery. The educational value of a submitted article is one of the most important criteria that are assessed when deciding whether to accept it for publication. Articles do not necessarily need to contain original or novel information but we welcome submission of this material. The educational value of an article may relate to articles published with it (e.g. a Case Report may not have direct educational value but an associated Clinical Commentary or Review Article published alongside it will enhance the educational value).
