Abstract

The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare findings from analyses of paired samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from cerebellomedullary cistern and lumbar cistern in dogs. Tests of fluid collected from the lumbar cistern were more sensitive for identifying pleocytosis and elevated protein concentrations compared to the fluid from the cerebellomedullary cistern in dogs with spinal cord disease.
