Descompresión medular del segmento t12-t13 por hernia discal hansen tipo i mediante hemilaminectomía en paciente canino con paraplejía del tren posterior.

Abstract

The central nervous system (CNS) included the brain, cerebellum, medulla oblongata and spinal cord, and is responsible for receive and send neuro-electrical impulses to the different organs and systems in order to control their physiological function. The disc disease is considered a pathology of degenerative origin that leads to the herniation of the intervertebral discs within the spinal canal generating compressions on the spinal cord or nerve roots leading to alterations in the sensory and motor response according to the intervertebral segment affected. In the present clinical case review, the case of a 7-year-old mongrel canine patient is described, who presented paraplegia of the posterior train, with reduction of nociception, proprioception and superficial sensitivity undergoing magnetic resonance as a diagnostic method finding a Hansen hernia type I in the spinal segments T12-T13 entering surgery for spinal decompression by hemilaminectomy.
