They can be asymptomatic, or they may cause pain, lameness, paresis and even paralysis, depending on their location and size. In cases of spinal cord or nerve root compression, surgery is the treatment of choice. Therefore, an advanced imaging diagnostic work-up is indicated. Due to the unclear pathophysiology and progression of this condition, it is difficult to predict its prognosis.
