Syringomyelia Supervening on Hydrocephalus in a dogYoshihiro OHMICHI*†, Atsushi HIRAKAWA, Hinako SHIBAYAMA,
SUMMARY MRI examination revealed cervical syringomyelia associated with severe hydrocephalus in a 3-month-old
miniature dachshund with neck pain and circling and scratches on the neck. Because medical therapy with
predonisolone and acetozolamide produced no improvement in neurological symptoms, the dog was euthanized.
Histopathological examination revealed communicating hydrocephalus and cervical syringomyelia. The present
case suggests that syringomyelia is one of important differential diagnoses in spinal diseases.
