FIGURE 1.

Sagittal T2 (A) and T1‐weighted (B) and transverse T2 (C) and T1‐weighted (D) MR images from a 6‐year‐old Bernese Mountain dog with C5‐C6 ventrodorsal and C6‐C7 ventral compression with spinal cord hyperintensity at both sites. The ventral component is intervertebral disc protrusion (arrows) and the dorsal component is ligamentum flavum/soft tissue hypertrophy and dorsal lamina thickening (asterisk). There is also osseous proliferation of the articular processes seen on transverse images (C, D). Absent joint fluid can be seem at the right articular process joint and reduced joint fluid on the left articular process joint (C—open arrowheads). Subchondral bone of the articular processes was classified as smooth with signs of subchondral sclerosis bilaterally (D—open arrowheads).
