The Second Most Common Neurological Disease<br />
Diagnosed in Horses<br />
Neuroaxonal Dystrophy/Equine<br />
Degenerative Myeloencephalopathy<br />
by Carrie J. Finno, DVM, DACVIM<br />
N<br />
euroaxonal dystrophy (NAD)<br />
is a neurological disease in<br />
which both the cell body of<br />
the neurons and the axons throughout<br />
the brain and spinal cord undergo<br />
degeneration. Axons are the parts of the<br />
nerve cells along which impulses travel,<br />
so this condition results in abnormal<br />
conduction of nervous impulses and<br />
associated clinical signs defined by a<br />
lack of coordination. The cause of this<br />
degeneration is not understood at this<br />
time.<br />
