Morphometric measurements of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniels whole brain. Measurements were chosen to best reflect the possible morphological changes observed in SM. All measurements start from one of these points: a dorsum of sphenoid-occipital synchondrosis, b basion of basioccipital bone, c rostral edge of the dorsal lamina of the atlas, d junction between supraoccipital bone and occipital crest, e most dorsal point of intersection of the cerebellum with the occipital lobe circle, f center of occipital lobe circle, g point at which the optic nerve deviates into the optic canal, h rostral edge of supra-occipital bone, i intersection point with the extended AB baseline caudally with extended line DC ventrally, j most rostral aspect of the dens of the axis bone and k extended line from point B along the best fit line of the ventral medulla oblongata to where it changes angle to the spinal cord
