l在7只Cavalier King Charles猎犬中描述了继发于枕骨大孔过度拥挤的脊髓空洞症。临床体征与中央脊髓病变一致。最常见的体征是持续抓挠肩部区域，伴有明显的颈部、胸部肢体或耳部疼痛和胸部肢体下运动神经元缺陷。诊断是由磁共振成像。脊髓脊膜积水被认为是枕骨畸形导致小的尾侧窝和小脑疝的结果。当狗接受皮质类固醇或非甾体抗炎药治疗时，临床体征有所改善，但并未完全解决。
lSyringohydromyelia secondary to foramen magnum overcrowding is described in seven Cavalier King Charles spaniels. Clinical signs were consistent with a central spinal cord lesion. The most common signs were persistent scratching at the shoulder region with apparent neck, thoracic limb, or ear pain and thoracic limb lower motor neuron deficits. The diagnosis was made by magnetic resonance imaging. The syringohydromyelia is postulated to be a consequence of an occipital bone malformation resulting in a small caudal fossa and cerebellar herniation. Clinical signs improved but did not completely resolve when the dogs received treatment with corticosteroids or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
