Segmental spinal dysgenesis with caudal agenesis in a Holstein calf
A rare complex dysraphic malformation, comprising segmental spinal dysgenesis with caudal agenesis, was found in a Holstein calf that was unable to stand and was slightly short at the lumbosacral spine with taillessness. The thoracolumbar and sacrococcygeal regions of the midline axial segments showed severe deformities. In the spinal cord, the thoracolumbar region showed severe constriction wi...
متن کاملSegmental spinal dysgenesis: neuroradiologic findings with clinical and embryologic correlation.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Segmental spinal dysgenesis (SSD) is a rare congenital abnormality in which a segment of the spine and spinal cord fails to develop properly. Our goal was to investigate the neuroradiologic features of this condition in order to correlate our findings with the degree of residual spinal cord function, and to provide insight into the embryologic origin of this disorder. We ...
متن کاملSpinal dysraphism in a newborn Holstein-Friesian calf.
Spinal dysraphism, not associated with vertebral defect or arthrogryposis, was found in a 3-day-old Holstein-Friesian calf that was clinically diagnosed as having encephalopathy. The dysraphic lesion occurred in the sixth (C6) and seventh (C7) segments of the cervical spinal cord. Microscopically, the lesion was characterized by hydromyelia, syringomyelia, anomaly of the ventral median fissure,...

Epithelial inclusions were detected in myocardium of a 2-month-old male Holstein calf. Microscopically,nonpurulent myocarditis along with focal tubular and acinar structures covered with cuboidal epithelial cellswas seen in the myocardium. Most tubular and acinar structures stained with Masson’s trichrome were foundto be surrounded with a dense collagen. Tubular and acinar structures had PAS po...
متن کاملPersistent cloaca and caudal spinal agenesis in calves: three cases.
Three newborn calves were affected by caudal spinal dysgenesis or agenesis (coccygeal vertebra) and persistent cloaca. The cloacas were lined by a mixture of transitional and colonic epithelium. The vertebral column of one calf was internalized into the cloaca. The association of persistent cloaca and caudal spinal anomalies is thought to be related to cell loss in the caudal cell mass, which a...
