Abstract(s)
Doença do disco intervertebral é a patologia que mais afeta a medula espinhal nos cães, sendo responsável por 2,3-3,7% das admissões em hospitais veterinários. É uma condição que resulta na herniação do disco intervertebral, levando à extrusão do material discal para o canal vertebral, causando compressão da medula espinhal e/ou sinais de compressão nervosa. A utilização de exames imagiológico avançados como tomografia computorizada e ressonância magnética são essenciais para um correto diagnóstico e diferenciação de tipos de hérnias discais, bem como identificação da correta localização. Existem diversas técnicas cirúrgicas que podem ser utilizadas consoante o tipo e localização das hérnias discais, sendo este o tratamento recomendado na grande maioria dos casos, com uma taxa de sucesso entre os 70-90%.
A presente revisão bibliográfica tem por objetivo rever os aspetos principais das hérnias do disco intervertebral e agregar os conceitos essenciais sobre o tema, abordando os diferentes tipos de hérnias, os principais meios de diagnóstico e as principais abordagens terapêuticas.
Intervertebral disc disease is the pathology that most affects the spinal cord in dogs, accounting for 2,3-3,7% of admissions to veterinary hospitals. It is a condition that results in intervertebral disc herniation, leading to extrusion of disc material into the vertebral canal, causing spinal cord compression and/or signs of nerve compression. The use of advanced imaging tests such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are essential for a correct diagnosis and differentiation of the types of disc herniation, as well as the identification of the correct location of thy. There are various surgical techniques that can be used depending on the type and location of herniated discs, being the recommended treatment in most cases, with a success rate ranging from 70-90%. This literature review aims to summarize the main aspects of intervertebral disc hernias and the essential concepts on the subject, addressing the different types of hernias, the main means of diagnosis and the main therapeutic approaches.
