Abstract

A Holstein calf, manifesting clinical signs of left hind limb extension, staggering gait, circling to the left side,and head tremor, was investigated clinically and pathologically. Since we could not detect any remarkable lesion in a head CT scan examination, we suspected the presence of spinal cord lesions. Necropsy revealed a duplication of the spinal cord at the level from T13 to the lumbosacral segment. Pathologically, the calf was diagnosed with diplomyelia. In Japan, to our knowledge, diplomyelia has been reported in only a few cases of Japanese black cattle. This case indicates the possibility that diplomyelia may also occur in a Holstein calf.
