title: Cervical stenotic myelopathy in a horse.
abstract: A 13-year-old, Thoroughbred gelding presented with a 3-year history of progressive ataxia of all 4 limbs. Physical and neurological examinations indicated a compressive lesion affecting the cervical spinal cord. Radiographs confirmed a lesion, and a myelogram a narrowing of the spinal canal at cervical vertebrae (6-7). Necropsy confirmed cervical stenotic myelopathy.
