title: Use of magnetic resonance imaging for diagnosis of a spinal tumor in a cat.
abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging was used to identify a spinal mass at the level of the 6th-7th cervical vertebral body in a cat. The MRI images were most consistent with the presence of an intradural, extramedullary meningioma that was confirmed by subsequent histological examination.
