Compressive hydrated nucleus pulposus extrusion (HNPE) is a sudden extrusion of hydrated, nondegenerated nucleus pulposus material with well-known characteristic MRI findings. The appearance of compressive HNPE during contrast-enhanced CT has already been described, but never its myelo-CT characteristics. The aim of this retrospective multicenter case series is to describe the myelo-CT findings in 15 dogs with compressive HNPE confirmed with gross surgical findings.

- Microscopic cell counting in canine cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is the standard method but is labor-intensive and varies by operator, prompting exploration of automated alternatives like the Sysmex XN-V BF module.
- A study was conducted on 150 dog CSF samples to compare the Sysmex automated results with manual counting, finding high sensitivity (92.59%) and specificity (94.30%) for total nucleated cell counts (TNCC).
- The Sysmex XN-V BF module is effective for TNCCs, showing good correlation with manual methods, but manual evaluation is still necessary for accurate differential cell counts.
