T2 weighted MRI in neutral traction of a 7 year old Doberman with a 2 year history of cervical pain treated with NSAID and presented acutely tretraplegic. A C6-C7 and C5-C6 traction responsive myelopathy are evident on MRI. The spinal cord hyperintensity seen at the C5-C6 is suggestive of chronic lesion and most likely responsible for the chronic history of cervical pain, while the C5-C6 lesion was most likely responsible for the acute tetraplegia.
