Vertebral formulae and congenital vertebral anomalies in African pygmy hedgehogs ( Atelerix albiventris )
Original language description
Background: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of vertebral formulae and congenital vertebral anomalies in African pygmy hedgehogs (Atelerix albiventris). Methods: Sixty-five African pygmy hedgehogs (APHs) of both sexes were used in this retrospective study. Assessment of whole-body radiographs was done. Results: Five different vertebral formulae were recognized with C7/Th14/L6/S4/Cd8-12 (46.15% of APHs) being the most common. Other detected formulae were C7/Th14/L6/S3/Cd10-11 (7.69% of APHs), C7/Th14/L5/S4/ Cd9-11 (13.85% of APHs), C7/Th15/L5/S4/Cd9-12 (13.85% of APHs), C7/Th13/L6/S4/Cd10 (1.54% of APHs). Presacral formula C7/Th14/L6 was the most common, detected in 53.85% of APHs. Congenital vertebral anomalies were detected in 11/65 (16.92%) APHs. Most of them were localized in the thoracolumbar junction in the form of a transitional vertebra (10/65; 15.38% of APHs) and one block vertebra was detected (1/65; 1.54% of APHs). No significant association with gender was detected. Conclusion and clinical relevance: This study establishes the most common vertebral formula and incidence of vertebral anomalies in A. albiventris.
