Lumbosacral transitional vertebrae in small-breed dogs: Prevalence, classification, and characteristics.

Vet Radiol Ultrasound

January 2025

Section of Veterinary Medical Imaging, College of Veterinary Medicine, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju, South Korea.

The lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LTV) is an abnormally formed vertebra that can be associated with cauda equina syndrome, lumbosacral (LS) degeneration, and pelvic rotation. However, there is little information on LTV in small-breed dogs, and no studies have investigated the association between LTV and LS diseases or degenerative changes in the coxofemoral joints. The purpose of this multicenter, retrospective, and cross-sectional study was to determine the prevalence of LTV in small-breed dogs (<10 kg), classify the type of LTV, and identify its association with degenerative changes in the LS and coxofemoral joints using CT images.
