An exciting case from neurosurgery

Once again we have a very exciting case from our VetTrust Veterinary Clinic Basel. A 9-year-old Border Collie was presented to us with acute paralysis of all four legs and severe coordination problems. The neurological examination revealed findings in the cervical spine. The CT showed a herniated disc between C3-C4 with a high-grade compression of the spinal cord. The disc material could be successfully removed with a so-called ventral slot. The extruded disc material could be completely removed. The operation was performed by Gaby Wyss (neurologist) and Petar Polajnar (surgeon).

We are very proud of our highly professional and competent team in Basel.
