Cranial thoracic vertebral canal stenosis was diagnosed with computed tomography imaging. Lateral and dorsolateral spinal cord compression was present at multiple sites between T2 and T6. Alternating left and right-sided compressions were common. Surgical treatment was by unilateral, continuous hemilaminectomy over three to six vertebral spaces. Postoperative morbidity was minimal and return of independent ambulation was rapid (median: 13.5 days, range: 2\u201329 days). Neurological status in one dog worsened four months after surgery due to reoccurrence of osseous compression; unilateral hemilaminectomy was repeated in this dog. Long-term follow-up ranged from six to 10 months; neurological signs had completely resolved in one dog and substantially improved in the other two dogs.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Clinical significance: Unilateral hemilaminectomy was associated with rapid return of independent ambulation and substantial improvement in neurological scores.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3415\/vcot-16-10-0147","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,23]],"date-time":"2017-03-23T08:23:02Z","timestamp":1490257382000},"page":"223-229","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Cranial thoracic vertebral canal stenosis in three juvenile large-breed brachycephalic dogs treated by unilateral hemilaminectomy"],"prefix":"10.3415","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Andrew","family":"Marchevsky","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amanda","family":"Miller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.3415\/VCOT-16-10-0147-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"59","DOI":"10.3415\/VCOT-08-01-0004","volume":"22","author":"Stalin","year":"2009","journal-title":"Vet Comp Orthop Traumatol"},{"key":"10.3415\/VCOT-16-10-0147-2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1740-8261.2012.01953.x"},{"key":"10.3415\/VCOT-16-10-0147-3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Levine J, Ruaux C, Bergman R, et al.
