1. any functional disturbance or pathological change in the spinal cord; often used to denote nonspecific lesions, as opposed to myelitis.

2. pathological bone marrow changes. adj., adj myelopath´ic.

ascending myelopathy myelopathy that progresses along the spinal cord towards the head.

cervical myelopathy compression myelopathy of the cervical spinal cord, a common complication of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

compression myelopathy myelopathy due to pressure on the spinal cord, as from a tumor.

cystic myelopathy syringomyelia.

descending myelopathy myelopathy that progresses along the spinal cord towards the hips.

spondylotic cervical myelopathy myelopathy secondary to encroachment of cervical spondylosis upon a congenitally small cervical spinal canal.

myelopathy

1. any functional disturbance or pathological change in the spinal cord; often used to denote nonspecific lesions, as opposed to myelitis. Examples are ischemic encephalopathy, that due to intervertebral disk disease, in the wobbler syndrome in horses.

2. pathological change in bone marrow.

bovine spinal myelopathy

inherited disease of Murray Grey cattle conditioned by a recessive gene; congenital or appears at up to one year old; characterized by paresis progressing to recumbency and necropsy lesions of neuronal degeneration in midbrain, cerebellum and spinal cord.

degenerative myelopathy of German shepherd dogs

a slowly progressive ataxia and paresis of the hindlegs in older German shepherd dogs. Marked muscle atrophy is common and fecal and urinary incontinence often develops. The etiology is unknown, but an immune-mediated mechanism is suspected as a depression of T lymphocyte responsiveness has been demonstrated in affected dogs.

demyelinating myelopathy of Miniature poodles

a diffuse demyelination with sparing of spinal gray matter and dorsal and ventral nerve roots. There is a progressive weakness, then paralysis of hindlegs and later forelegs as well, beginning at a few months of age; believed to be inherited.

fibrocartilaginous embolic myelopathy

extrusion of degenerate intervertebral disk material into meningeal or intramedullary blood vessels, which results in an ischemic myelopathy. It occurs in horses and, most frequently, in large breeds of dogs, and is manifested by acute paresis or paralysis.

hereditary myelopathy of Afghan hounds

an autosomal recessive inherited degenerative myelopathy of young Afghan hounds, in which there is ataxia, paresis and eventually paralysis, first in the hindlimbs, then in the forelimbs as well. Called also a leukodystrophy.

spondylotic cervical myelopathy

myelopathy secondary to encroachment of cervical spondylosis upon a congenitally small cervical spinal canal.

myelopathy

A spinal cord disorder. See Vacuolar myelopathy.
