Of the 12 horses, 9 had been diagnosed as having equine cervical vertebral malformation (CVM) or wobbles, and 3 were normal controls. A large hole was drilled from the ventral border of the vertebral bodies spanning the intervertebral disc and the vertebral end plates of the 2 articulating ...
Cervical vertebral compressive myelopathy (CVCM),“wobbler syndrome”, is caused by lesions that lead to compression of the spinal cord. Medical management, surgical treatment, and prognosis depend on the age of the horse, and duration and severity of clinical signs. Other common non-infectious neu...
The differential diagnosis includes equine protozoal myeloencephalitis, rabies, cervical vertebral malformation, polyneuritis equi, trauma, aberrant parasite migration, sorghum neuritis–cystitis, and perhaps equine degenerative myelopathy (q.v.). There are no specific treatments for EHV-1. Supportive care...
and is exposed by sharply separating the cricopharyngeus and thyropharyngeus muscles along their aponeurosis. The esophagus, thyroid gland, laryngeal and thyroid vessels, and ventral branch of the 1st cervical and cranial laryngeal nerves should be avoided during site preparation and suture placement....
Cervical vertebral interbody fusion was performed on 30 horses affected with cervical vertebral malformation (CVM) or “wobbles” to assess the efficacy of the surgery in either preventing progression of or reversing the neurologic deficit induced by the syndrome. Evaluation of each horse prior to ...

The sample set included 44 EPM cases, 35 cervical-vertebral malformation (CVM) cases, 39 neurologic cases other than EPM or CVM, and 10 non-neurologic cases.MethodsAntibodies against S. neurona were measured in serum and CSF pairs using the SnSAG2 and SnSAG4/3 (SnSAG2, 4/3) ELISAs, ...
Equine Caudal Cervical Morphologic Variation (ECCMV) is a congenital malformation of the caudal cervical spine distinct from the more commonly recognized Cervical Vertebral Stenotic Myelopathy (CVSM). The most common presentation of ECCMV is recognized on the sixth cervical vertebra (C6). In “norma...
