Abstract

A left-lateralized, lumbosacral intervertebral disk herniation, which was not apparent on epidurography, was diagnosed in a dog with magnetic resonance imaging. Precise, preoperative localization and characterization of the lesion allowed surgical approach and excision with minimum disruption of surrounding tissues.
