Summary

This paper describes nine cases of a parenchymatous peripheral neuropathy in dogs, characterized clinically by posterior ataxia and paralysis, and pathologically by widespread myelin and axon destruction in ventral spinal and peripheral nerves, together with disappearance of ventral horn neurones. It is discussed in relation to nutritional and other peripheral neuropathies seen in man and animals.

Zusammenfassung

Diese Arbeit behandelt neun Fälle einer parenchymatösen peripheren Neuropathie bei Hunden, die klinisch durch Hinterstrangsataxie und Lähmung, pathologisch durch weitverbreitete Markscheiden- und Axonzerstörung in den vorderen Wurzeln und in den peripheren Nerven mit Verlust von Vorderhornganglienzellen charakterisiert ist.

Die Beziehungen zu ernährungsbedingten und anderen bei Menschen und Tieren vorkommenden Neuropathien werden erörtert.
