“…1,2,4 Intervertebral disc herniation is reported to be more common in the lumbar region of cats, 5,6 and reports of disorders affecting the thoracic spinal cord in cats are currently limited to case reports and small case series, such as articular process hypertrophy resulting in vertebral canal stenosis, [7][8][9][10] vertebral hyperostosis, 11 intervertebral disc protrusion (IVDP), 12,13 subarachnoid diverticulum 14 and different types of neoplasia. 15,16 A recent publication described the signalment, clinical presentation and differential diagnoses of cranial thoracic myelopathies (between the T1 and T6 vertebrae) in dogs; 17 however, to the authors' knowledge, there is still a lack of information on myelopathies affecting this region in cats. This information could be useful, as it may allow a clinician to advise the owner of an affected cat regarding the most likely differential diagnoses after suspicion of a lesion in this region, which could then be used to formulate a focused and appropriate diagnostic plan.…”
