ABSTRACT A three‐month‐old female basset hound was referred to the Norwegian College of Veterinary Medicine with a history of progressive paresis of the pelvic limbs. Following neurological examination and the study of myelograms, extradural masses causing spinal cord compressions at the T 12 . 13 and T 13 ‐L 1 junctions were diagnosed. At necropsy bone‐tissue of the vertebral laminae was found to have formed stenoses of the vertebral canal producing compressions of the spinal cord. Irreversible tissue‐damage was observed in histological sections prepared from the compressed areas of the spinal cord.
