O presente trabalho relata a ocorrência de dermatite prurítica acral e automutilação da cauda e região genitocrural em três cães e um gato que sofriam compressão de raízes nervosas da cauda eqüina. O diagnóstico foi realizado através dos sinais clínicos e por meio de exames radiográficos. O tratamento consistiu na descompressão cirúrgica da cauda eqüina, através de laminectomia dorsal, conseguindo-se com A mesmA, a remissão total das automutilações e perseguições da cauda, com cicatrização das lesões auto-infligidas.
This paper describes the occurrence of acral pruritic dermatitis and self-mutilation of the tail, hindlimbs and genitalia areas in three dogs and one cat with compression of the cauda equina nerve roots. The diagnostic was carried out by clinical signs and radiological studies. The treatment was based upon the surgical decompression of the cauda equina by the dorsal laminectomy. The surgical treatment led to the total remission of the self-mutilation, tail persecution and the self-inflicted lesions.
