case_images: Transverse section of the C4-C5 intervertebral disk space. Yellow arrowhead highlights mild hyperattenuating extruded disk material and possible hemorrhage, located ventral and left lateral to the spinal cord.

case_images: The material presented higher Hounsfield unit values (88-101 HU) compared to the medulla (29-44 HU) and occupied 47.8% of the vertebral canal diameter (Figures 1, 2).
case_images: Mid-cervical sagittal view. The gray arrow depicts in situ C3-C4 disk mineralization; the red arrow highlights mineralized herniated disk material (C4-C5), and the red arrowheads highlight mild hyperattenuating disk material and possible hemorrhage. Malalignment of the cervical-thoracic segment is observed and this is due to the positioning of the dog.

case_images: The material presented higher Hounsfield unit values (88-101 HU) compared to the medulla (29-44 HU) and occupied 47.8% of the vertebral canal diameter (Figures 1, 2). The C3-C4 intervertebral space was visibly narrowed, with in situ mineralized material and no visible spinal cord compression (Figure 2).
case_images: Transverse section of the C5-C6 intervertebral disk space. Yellow arrowheads highlight mild hyperattenuating herniated disk material and possible hemorrhage; yellow arrows highlight hyperattenuating disk material.

case_images: Ventral extradural material that was isoattenuating to the spinal cord was present at the level of the C5-C6 disk (Figure 3).
case_images: Sagittal view of the caudal cervical segment of the vertebral column. The C5-C6 intervertebral disk space is narrower than the adjacent ones, with visible heterogenous hyperattenuating herniated disk material (yellow arrowheads). The herniated disk material extends caudally to the caudal part of the C7 vertebral body.

case_images: The C5-C6 intervertebral disk space was markedly narrowed when compared to the adjacent intervertebral spaces (Figures 4-7).
case_images: Transverse view at the level of the C5-C6 intervertebral disk space. Red arrowheads highlight the mineralized component of the herniated disk, while the yellow arrowheads highlight mild hyperattenuating disk material with possible hemorrhage.

case_images: The C5-C6 intervertebral disk space was markedly narrowed when compared to the adjacent intervertebral spaces (Figures 4-7).
case_images: Dorsal view of the caudal cervical segment of the vertebral column. The blue arrow highlights the mineralized component of the herniated disk at the level of the C5-C6 intervertebral disk space; the yellow arrows highlight the caudal extension of the herniated disk material.
