| Popis: | Objective: To determine the value of oblique versus ventrodorsal myelographic views for lesion lateralisation in canine thoracolumbar disc disease. Methods: The ventrodorsal and oblique views from 196 lumbar myelograms of dogs with single thoracolumbar disc extrusions or protrusions were blindly and independently reviewed by two of the authors for evidence of lesion lateralisation. Medical records were reviewed for details regarding hemilaminectomy surgery. The side (left versus right) of the surgery and whether or not the disc material was retrieved were noted. Results: Both reviewers lateralised significantly more disc lesions from the oblique views (93 and 95 per cent) than from the ventrodorsal views (59 and 70 per cent) (P |
