Surgical correction of degenerative lumbosacral stenosis in a puma (Puma concolor araucana)

Abstract: COMMUNICATION Surgical correction of degenerative lumbosacral stenosis in a puma(Puma concolor araucana) RESUMENUn ejemplar de puma (Puma concolor araucana) macho intacto, adulto (12 años), fue evaluado debido a una paraparesis y deambulación anormal de los miembros pélvicos. Al examen neurológico se determinó una paraparesia progresiva, ataxia simétrica de los miembros pélvicos y parálisis de la cola. Se obtuvieron radiografías simples y una tomografía computarizada (TC) del segmento lumbosacro como exámenes… Show more

“…Large adult tigers, especially those in captivity, often experience muscle atrophy, paresis and ataxia in the limbs, often associated with degenerative spinal disorders (Kolmstetter et al, 2000). Diagnostic procedures and treatments, including radiography, tomography, resonance imaging and surgical corrections (Verdugo et al, 2011), require a thorough understanding of lumbosacral anatomy and the innervation of the pelvic limbs. Comprehensive knowledge of the course and distribution of nerves that innervate each muscle of the limbs is vital for the systematic analysis of locomotion physiology and surgical approaches.…”
