Dorsal laminectomy was used to treat 30 dogs with cervical intervertebral disk disease. A variety of breeds were represented, and all animals weighted 15 kg or less. Myelography was utilized to locate each solitary disk herniation. All 30 cases progressed to complete recovery which indicates that dorsal laminectomy may be performed with success in small dogs with intervertebral disk disease.

Intradural extramedullary bronchogenic cysts (IEBCs) are exceedingly rare congenital entities, composed of respiratory epithelial cells derived from the anomalous development of the embryonic foregut. Due to their exceptionally low morbidity, only limited cases are available. Consequently, the clinical features and optimal therapeutic approach remain poorly understood.

A 41-year-old man with a history of obesity, hypertension, and smoking suffered from numbness and weakness in both lower limbs. He was diagnosed with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament and ligamentum flavum in the cervical and thoracic spine by X-rays, CT, and MRI. The patient underwent laminectomies at T2 and T3 levels, along with posterior fusion from T1 to T4, to address an upper thoracic spine lesion causing sensory deficits up to T5 and gait disturbances.

Article Synopsis
- Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) is an extremely rare cause of spinal cord compression, leading to significant neurological deficits and accounting for less than 1% of spinal canal lesions.
- In a study of three cases, all patients presented with neurological impairments and underwent successful surgical treatment to remove the hematoma.
- The findings suggest that while the severity of symptoms can vary, timely diagnosis and early surgical intervention are critical for achieving complete neurological recovery in SSEH cases.
