GOMEZ, M; MIERES, M; GUTIERREZ, JC  y  JONES, JC. CT myelography characteristics of spinal dysraphism in a young mixed breed dog. Arch. med. vet. [online]. 2012, vol.44, n.2, pp. 191-194. ISSN 0301-732X.  doi: 10.4067/S0301-732X2012000200014.

Spinal dysraphism is a congenital defect of the vertebral column and spinal cord secondary to imperfect closure of the caudal neuropore of the developing neural tube. This report describes computed tomographic myelography (Myelo-CT) characteristics of spina bifida occulta, spinal cord aplasia/hypoplasia and split cord malformation type II (diplomyelia) in the caudal lumbar area of a 2 month old mixed breed dog.
