Abstract
An 11-year-old, mixed-breed dog suffering progressive asymmetric hind limb ataxia was diagnosed as having spinal cord compression at the L1 spinal level. An intramedullary, encapsulated tumor was surgically rem oved. Tumor microscopic features, positive neuron-specific enolase (NS E) immunostaining, and Grimelius staining led to the diagnosis of para ganglioma. The dog was free from any neuroloaic signs 12 days after su rgery.
