ABSTRACT
A mixed-breed pygmy goat was presented for nonambulatory tetraparesis. Neurological examination was consistent with a C6 to T2 myelopathy. Initially, the goat was treated medically. Forty-three days later, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an extradural mass compressing the cervical spinal cord. Magnetic resonance attributes of the mass were consistent with a slow-growing, fluid-poor lesion. The spinal cord was surgically decompressed. Epidural empyema secondary to Fusobacterium necrophorum was identified. Postoperative care consisted of anti-inflammatory medication, antimicrobials, and physical therapy. Ability to walk occurred by day 14 after surgery. Despite prolonged recumbency before surgery, the goat was clinically normal, and antimicrobials were discontinued on day 60 after surgery. Key clinical message Epidural empyema can cause a compressive myelopathy which may result in varying degrees of paresis/paralysis. Clinical resolution and return of normal function occurred following the use of MRI to plan surgical decompression combined with extended use of antimicrobials.
Diagnostic et traitement d'un empyème épidural chez une chèvre pygmée. Une chèvre naine fut présentée pour tétraparésie non-ambulatoire, neuro-localisée au segment C6-T2. Un traitement conservateur fut initialement instauré. Quarante-trois jours plus tard, une IRM révéla une compression sévère de la moelle épinière cervicale par une masse extradurale faiblement liquide et à croissance lente. La moelle épinière fut chirurgicalement décompressée. Un empyème épidural secondaire à Fusobacterium necrophorum fut identifié. Des soins postopératoires à base d'anti-inflammatoires, d'antibiotiques ainsi qu'une rééducation physique furent instaurés. L'animal recouvra la capacité de marcher 14 jours plus tard. Malgré un décubitus prolongé, 60 jours après la chirurgie la chèvre était normale et les antimicrobiens furent interrompus.Message clinique cléL'empyème épidural peut provoquer une myélopathie compressive pouvant entraîner divers degrés de parésie/ paralysie. La résolution clinique et le retour de la fonction normale sont survenus après l'utilisation de l'IRM pour planifier la décompression chirurgicale combinée à une utilisation prolongée d'antimicrobiens.(Traduit par Karin Gendron et Maëva Barozzi).
