Abstract

Myelography and epidurography are contrasted radiographic technics widely used in the diagnostic of medullary diseases in dogs. However, its use in felines is not common. The present article described the use of both technics in a domestic cat, which enabled the confirmation of the clinical suspicion from neuro-orthopedic examination and allowed another lesion localization. The use of contrasted radiographic technics in felines should be motivated, since it is one of the few available tools to the diagnostic of neurological and orthopedics diseases in veterinary medicine in the country. Keywords: Spinal diseases, orthopedics, neurology, cats.
