Localize Before You Diagnose: The Definitive NAVLE Guide to Spinal Cord Neurology

Spinal cord localization is one of the highest-yield and most commonly tested topics on the ICVA–NAVLE exam. This advanced, case-based neurology lecture is designed for veterinarians, veterinary students, and NAVLE candidates who want to master spinal cord neurologic examination and lesion localization the way examiners expect.

In this lecture, we walk step-by-step through the complete spinal neurologic exam, focusing on mentation, gait analysis, postural reactions, spinal reflexes, deep pain perception, and UMN vs LMN differentiation. Special emphasis is placed on cervical, thoracolumbar, and lumbosacral spinal cord segments, including classic NAVLE traps, alerts, buzzwords, and examiner distractions.

You will also learn how to confidently differentiate spinal cord disease from brain disease, a critical decision point that determines whether a NAVLE question is answered correctly or incorrectly.

This lecture follows ICVA NAVLE expectations and integrates concepts from trusted veterinary references such as MSD Veterinary Manual, VIN/Veterinary Partner, AAHA, and standard neurology texts.

🎯 Perfect for:
• NAVLE preparation
• Neurology clinical reasoning
• Board-style exam thinking
• High-yield revision before test day
