Resumo: A three-year-old crossbreed male dog was brought to the Neurology Unit because of an acute paraplegia. A clinical neurological examination indicated a spinal thoracolumbar syndrome evidenced by spastic paralysis of the hind limbs with no signs of deep pain sensation. Whereas the radiographic exams did not show any abnormality, cerebrospinal fluid changes indicated inflammation and hemorrhage. Serum titer for Toxoplasma gondii was 1:1024. The bacterial culture of the cerebrospinal fluid was negative. Since the animal did not improve with symptomatic treatment, it was euthanatized. The necropsy showed an extensive spinal hemorrhage from T8 to T11. Microscopic examination showed that paraplegia was due to the presence of an immature female Spirocerca lupi in the nervous tissue causing hemorrhagic myelomalacia.

Ao exame clínico-neurológico constatou-se uma síndrome medular toracolombar, estando os membros pélvicos com paralisia espástica e com ausência de sensibilidade dolorosa profunda. Enquanto os exames radiográficos não evidenciavam nenhuma anormalidade, as alterações do líquor indicavam necrose ou hemorragia medular. O RIFI para Toxoplasmose foi de 1:1024. O exame bacterológico do líquor foi negativo. Devido à falta de resposta ao tratamento, o animal foi sacrificado. Na necrópsia encontraram-se hemorragias no segmento medular compreendido entre T8-TI1. No exame histopatológico constatou-se a presença de um exemplar fêmea imaturo de Spirocerca lupi no tecido nervoso causando mielomalácia hemorrágica e conseqüentemente o quadro de paraplegia.Universidade de São Paulo.
