Popis: Estudou-se a topografia post mortem do cone medular em 30 gatos adultos sem raça definida. Procedeu-se à remoção da pele e da musculatura dorsal da coluna vertebral e expuseram-se a medula espinhal e seus envoltórios, após a secção dos arcos vertebrais. O cone medular foi evidenciado e mensurado. Avaliou-se a sua relação com as vértebras lombares (L), sacrais (S) e caudais (Cd). O cone medular variou de 3,40 a 8,00cm (média=5,08cm). A esqueletopia foi variável, pois em 24 (80%) animais o cone medular iniciou-se na vértebra L6; em quatro (13,3%), na L7; e em dois (6,7%), na L5. Em 12 (40%) animais terminou na vértebra S2; em 10 (33,3%), na S3; em cinco (16,7%), na Cd1; em dois (6,7%), na S1; e em um (3,3%) na Cd2.It was studied the post mortem topography of the medullar cone in 30 adult non-defined breed cats. The dorsal skin and muscles from the vertebral column were removed and the spinal cord and its wrappers were visualized, after the section of the vertebral arcs. The medullar cone was then exposed and measured. Its relationship with lumbar (L), sacral (S), and caudal (Cd) vertebrae was determined. The length of the medullar cone presented a variation from 3.40 to 8.00cm (average 5.08cm). Its skeletopy was variable; since in 24 animals (80%), the medullar cone began at the L6 vertebra; in four (13.3%), at the L7; and in two (6.7%) at the L5 vertebra. It ended in 12 (40%) animals at the S2 vertebra; in 10 (33,33%), at the S3; in five (16.7%) at the caudal (Cd) vertebra; in two (6.7%), at the S1; and in one (3.3%), at the Cd2.
