Description

Degenerative lumbosacral stenosis (DLS) is now recognized as a significant cause of caudal lumbar pain and pelvic limb lameness in dogs. The condition includes lumbosacral intervertebral disc degeneration and protrusion, spondylosis deformans, sclerosis of the vertebral end plates, osteoarthrosis of articular facets, ventral sacral subluxation, and hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum and joint capsules. The clinical signs are caudal lumbar pain, pelvic limb lameness, reluctance to jump, rise and climb stairs, and neurological signs. Diagnosis of DLS is based on the history, clinical signs, clinical examination, and imaging findings. The surgical treatment of dogs with DLS aims to relieve the compression on the cauda equina nerve roots.
