Abstract
An 8-year-old mixed-breed dog was presented with cervical hyperesthesia, tetraparesis, and mild proprioceptive ataxia in all four limbs. 3 Tesla MRI showed a dorsal compressive intradural-extramedullary mass at the level of C1-C2, isointense to the gray matter with a hypointense ventral core on T2 weighted images (WI), isointense on T1WI, with a strong and homogeneous contrast enhancement. A C1-C2 partial dorsal laminectomy was performed, and the lesion was removed en bloc. The histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis defined the diagnosis of inflammatory pseudotumor.
