Hypoplasia of dens is a congenital non-formation of the pivot point of the second cervical vertebra, which leads to spinal cord damage.[1] Onset of the condition may occur at any age, producing signs ranging from neck pain to quadriplegia.[2] Hypoplasia of dens affects dogs. It is more commonly seen in certain breeds, including the Chihuahua, the Papillon, the Pointer and the Yorkshire Terrier.[1]
