Diseases of the nervous system may manifest acutely and necessitate immediate intervention.

This chapter reviews the more common neurological emergencies in companion animals.

Lateral radiograph taken in neutral position demonstrating the typical findings of an atlanto-axial subluxation. There is increased space between the dorsal aspect of the atlas and the spinous process of the axis, as well as the dorsal displacement of the ventral axis from the ventral floor of the atlas. © 2018 British Small Animal Veterinary Association
