Persistent skeletal muscle atrophy and degeneration had resulted in immobile stifle and hock joints and severe pelvic limb rigidity consistent with a neurogenic form of arthrogryposis. Both pelvic limbs were equally affected and the kitten showed no signs of pain.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Investigations Electromyography identified spontaneous activity in the pelvic limbs. Muscle and peripheral nerve biopsies showed pathology consistent with denervation. On necropsy, 3 weeks after admittance, severe degenerative changes including axonal necrosis and myelin degeneration were confirmed in the lumbar spinal cord.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Clinical relevance There are very few descriptions of feline motor neuron degeneration in the literature and obtaining an ante-mortem diagnosis is difficult. Although an inherited disorder cannot be ruled out, a condition acquired congenitally in utero or postnatally was suspected in this case.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfms.2010.01.007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,3,4]],"date-time":"2010-03-04T10:22:47Z","timestamp":1267698167000},"page":"237-240","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Acquired Motor Neuron Loss Causing Severe Pelvic Limb Contractures in a Young Cat"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Cecilia","family":"Rohdin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rinkebyv\u00e4gen 23, SE-182 36 Danderyd, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Erika","family":"Karlstam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Wildlife Diseases, National Veterinary, Institute, SE-751 89 Uppsala, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karin Hultin","family":"J\u00e4derlund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Companion Animal Clinical Sciences, Norwegian School of Veterinary Science, PO Box 8146 Dep, N-0033, Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G Diane","family":"Shelton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, School of Medicine, University of California-San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-j.jfms.2010.01.007","first-page":"23","volume-title":"Handbook of veterinary neurology","author":"Lorenz MD","year":"2004","edition":"4"},{"key":"bibr2-j.jfms.2010.01.007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jnen\/61.10.872"},{"key":"bibr3-j.jfms.2010.01.007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/030098587601300604"},{"key":"bibr4-j.jfms.2010.01.007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1271","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.1998.212.08.1271","volume":"212","author":"Shelton GD","year":"1998","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"},{"key":"bibr5-j.jfms.2010.01.007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1203\/01.PDR.0000153625.46892.6F"},{"key":"bibr6-j.jfms.2010.01.007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.2006.00236.x"},{"key":"bibr7-j.jfms.2010.01.007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajhg.2007.11.006"},{"key":"bibr8-j.jfms.2010.01.007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajhg.2007.09.016"},{"key":"bibr9-j.jfms.2010.01.007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nmd.2006.05.015"},{"key":"bibr10-j.jfms.2010.01.007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cvsm.2004.05.017"},{"key":"bibr11-j.jfms.2010.01.007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1098-612X(03)00027-5"},{"key":"bibr12-j.jfms.2010.01.007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/jfms.2001.0184"},{"key":"bibr13-j.jfms.2010.01.007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-510X(01)00559-7"},{"key":"bibr14-j.jfms.2010.01.007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.2003.tb00120.x"},{"key":"bibr15-j.jfms.2010.01.007","first-page":"1329","volume":"40","author":"Carberry CA","year":"1986","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"},{"key":"bibr16-j.jfms.2010.01.007","first-page":"259","volume":"182","author":"Wada N","year":"1993","journal-title":"J Anat"}],"container-title":["Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1016\/j.jfms.2010.01.007","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1016\/j.jfms.2010.01.007","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1016\/j.jfms.2010.01.007","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T22:14:12Z","timestamp":1777500852000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1016\/j.jfms.2010.01.007"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2010,3]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2010,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1016\/j.jfms.2010.01.007"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.jfms.2010.01.007","relation":{},"ISSN":["1098-612X","1532-2750"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1098-612X","type":"print"},{"value":"1532-2750","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2010,3]]}}}
