一只5岁的设得兰牧羊犬的第6颈脊神经神经鞘瘤被手术切除，保留了胸肢，并导致长期生存。该犬因左胸肢缓慢进行性跛行而被转诊。经神经学检查、电诊断检查、脊髓造影检查，病灶定位于左侧肩胛上神经、肌皮神经或C6、C7脊神经。手术探查发现肿块，切除后经组织学鉴定为神经鞘瘤。三年半后，除了轻度步态异常，局灶性肌肉萎缩和左胸肢皮肤感觉局灶性区域减少外，狗正常。
A schwannoma of the sixth cervical spinal nerve in a 5-year-old Shetland Sheepdog was surgically excised, sparing the thoracic limb and resulting in long-term survival. The dog had been referred because of slowly progressive left thoracic limb lameness. The lesion was localized to the left suprascapular and musculocutaneous nerves or the C6 and C7 spinal nerves on the basis of neurologic examination, electrodiagnostic examination, and myelography. Surgical exploration revealed a mass, which was excised and identified histologically as a schwannoma. Three and a half years later, the dog was normal except for mild gait abnormality, focal muscle atrophy, and a focal area of decreased cutaneous sensation of the left thoracic limb.
