            1y M English Bulldog with epidural space empyema. Survey radiographs and CT images show multiple vertebral anomalies of the mid
            and caudal thoracic vertebral column (a–d). Anomalous butterfly vertebrae (b: arrows) and hemivertebrae (d: arrow) are clearly
            defined. Similar features are seen on a T2 MR image (e). The complex intensity pattern (e: arrowheads) in the soft tissues are likely
            related to the empyema.
