Abstract

An 11-year-old castrated Schnauzer presented with paraplegia for the last two weeks, initially developed pelvic limb ataxia 6 months ago and left pelvic limb paresis 3 months ago. On neurological examination, paraplegia and postural reaction deficits were noted in the pelvic limbs with no deep pain sensation, and the dog showed exaggerated spinal reflexes and involuntary urination. Magnetic resonance (MR) images of thoracolumbar spinal cord were obtained with a 0.3 Tesla magnet. A mass with a broad base to the dorsal and left dural margins was identified at the level of L2, causing marked spinal cord compression. The mass showed isointensity to the spinal cord on T1-weighted (T1W) precontrast images, hyperintensity on T2-weighted images, marked homogeneous contrast enhancement with well-defined margins and the "dural tail" sign on T1W postcontrast images. An intradural-extramedullay tumor was considered, most likely, meningioma was highly suggestive. Left-sided hemilaminectomy and dorsal laminectomy were performed. An intradural mass partially adherent to dura mater was compressing the spinal cord, and the mass was completely removed with the attached dura mater. A histopathologic diagnosis of angiomatous subtype meningioma was made.

11년령의 중성화된 수컷 Schnauzer 가 후지마비 증상으로 내원하였다. 6개월 전부터 후지의 운동실조를 보이다가 3개월 전부터는 좌측 후지의 불완전마비를 보였으며, 2주 전부터는 양측 후지의 완전마비 증상을 나타내었다. 신경계 검사에서 양측 후지의 완전마비와 자세반사 및 심부통 소실이 확인되었으며, 척수반사는 항진되어 있었고 자발배뇨는 불가능한 상태였다. 흉요추 부위의 MR (0.3 Tesla) 영상 검사가 실시되었다. 척수를 심하게 압박하는 하나의 종괴가 요추 2번 수준에서 확인되었으며, 종괴는 좌측 및 등쪽으로 경질막과 넓게 접하고 있었다. 종괴는 T1 강조 영상에서 척수와 비슷한 신호 강도를 보였으며, T2 강조 영상에서는 고신호를 보였다. 조영 후 T1 강조 영상에서는 고도의 균일한 조영 증강을 보였으며, 경계는 명확하고 "dural tail sign" 을 동반하고 있었다. 이러한 영상학적 특징으로 부터 경질막내 척수외 종양이 고려되었으며, 그 중에서도 수막종이 가장 우선적으로 고려되었다. 좌측 편측후궁절제술 및 등쪽 후궁절제술이 실시되었다. 부분적으로 경질막과 유착되어 있는 하나의 경질막내 종괴가 척수를 압박하고 있는 것이 확인되었고, 종괴는 유착된 경질막 부분과 함께 완전히 제거되었다. 조직병리학적 검사를 통해 혈관종성수막 종으로 진단되었다.
