Abstract

<p>　A 6-day-old female Japanese black calf presented with sudden hindlimb paresis. Spinal injury in the thoracic and/or lumbar vertebrae was suspected from exaggerated patellar reflex in the left hindlimb and diminished cranial tibial and gastrocnemius muscle reflexes in both hindlimbs. Necropsy revealed subdural hemorrhage at the first cervical vertebra and from the third lumber vertebra to the sixth lumber vertebra. Histologically, axonal degeneration and chromatolysis were observed below the third lumber vertebrae. The neuron-specific enolase（NSE） concentration in the cerebrospinal fluid（CSF）was measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and found to be 77.32 ng/ml. This value was higher than 1.68 ± 0.63 ng/ml（ mean ± SD） observed in healthy calves（N = 9）. NSE in the CSF might be a useful biomarker for neuronal damage in cattle.</p>
