Plain-English summary
A dog was diagnosed with an unusual type of disc herniation, where the disc material pushed into the bone of a nearby vertebra. This condition is rare and was compared to a similar issue seen in humans. The specific symptoms the dog experienced were not detailed, but treatment options for disc herniation typically include pain management and possibly surgery. It's important for pet owners to consult their veterinarian if they notice any signs of back pain or mobility issues in their dog.

Abstract
Unusual disc herniation was identified in a dog. Disc herniation was considered unusual because of its displacement into the vertebral endplate of the adjoining vertebra. Unusual disc herniation in this dog was compared with Schmorl's node in humans.
