title: Clinical improvement in two dogs with hydrocephalus and syringohydromyelia after ventriculoperitoneal shunting.
abstract: Two young Miniature Dachshunds were presented with abnormal gait. Magnetic resonance imaging showed, hydrocephalus with expanding fourth ventricle, and syringohydromyelia in the cervical spinal cord. These dogs underwent ventricle-peritoneal shunting, after which hydrocephalus, syringohydromyelia, and their clinical signs, improved.
