| [en] SUMMARY
Subarachnoid lumbar puncture is commonly used in the dog for diagnostic reasons: cerebrospinal fluid collection and/or execution of a myelography. This work is based on 2 studies. The first study has established the percutaneous sonographic anatomy of the lumbar region in the dog with ex-vivo (2 cadavers) and then in-vivo (4 dogs) experiences, and has compared sonographic images with anatomic frozen sections. With the help of sonographic landmarks established in study 1, the second study, has developed an ultrasonographic-guided technique to introduce a spinal needle in the subarachnoid lumbar space on 2 cadavers. Then, this procedure has been used in 5 anesthetized dogs. The sonographic anatomy of the lumbar region has been established by means of transverse and longitudinal (sagittal and parasagittal) images, highlighting bony structures as spinous processes, the floor of the vertebral canal and articular processes. The ultrasonographic-guided technique has been developed using the contiguous articular facets of the fifth and sixth lumbar vertebrae as anatomical landmarks on a parasagittal image. The sonographic identification of the lumbar bony structures depends on 2 main factors: the morphology of the dog and the operator. These factors need to be further evalued to assess the applicability of this ultrasonographic-guided procedure in veterinary practice. Key words: ultrasonography, dog, lumbar puncture, myelography, spinal needle | |
