AKC / CHFGRANT # 01004:
Syringomyelia in the Bussels Griffon: MRI Findings, Clinicopathology, and
Prevalence.
Ask your breeder about the
prevalence of
Syringomyelia in their dogs and whether their dogs have been scored for Hip Dysplasia.
Syringomyelia has a particularly high
prevalence in some bloodlines of Cavaliers.
Therefore further work is required and we recommend that this study be repeated and / or modified for other breeds with a high
prevalence of CM and
syringomyelia such as Cavalier King Charles spaniels and Chihuahuas.
The Griffon Bruxellois (known as the Brussels Griffon in the USA) has a high
prevalence of the disorder with a conservative estimate of 65 % having CM and 42 — 52 % having
syringomyelia [3], [31].
