Abstract
Protein fractions of cerebral spinal fluid samples were analyzed in an effo rt to find a reliable, minimally invasive and cost effective method of diag nosing cervical vertebral myelopathy. There were six separate protein fract ions analyzed by electrophoresis. In this study we specifically looked for a post beta spike in horses with spinal cord compression. There was no corr elation in our study between horses with a post beta spike and CVM as diagn osed by a myelogram.
