Acute thoracolumbal intervertebral disc extrusion

Acute thoracolumbal intervertebral disc extrusion

Neurology , Surgery , Dogs , Dog Diseases / By

The spine of a dog consists of many individual vertebrae, which are separated by intervertebral discs. These intervertebral discs act like shock absorbers and enable mobility. With a thoracolumbal intervertebral disc extrusion, the inner, gel -like material of a intervertebral disc leaves through the outer shell and presses onto the spinal cord. This can lead to pain, paralysis and in severe cases to loss of walking ability.
