Abstract: Let $ \mathcal C$ be an algebraically closed field with trivial derivation and let $ \mathcal F$ denote the differential rational field $ \mathcal C\langle Y_{ij}\rangle$, with $ Y_{ij}$, $ 1\leq i\leq n-1$, $ 1\leq j\leq n$, $ i\leq j$, differentially independent indeterminates over $ \mathcal C$. We show that there is a Picard-Vessiot extension $ \mathcal E\supset \mathcal F$ for a matrix equation $ X'=X\mathcal A(Y_{ij})$, with differential Galois group $ \operatorname{SO}_n$, with the property that if $ F$ is any differential field with field of constants $ \mathcal C$, then there is a Picard-Vessiot extension $ E\supset F$ with differential Galois group $ H\leq\operatorname{SO}_n$ if and only if there are $ f_{ij}\in F$ with $ \mathcal A(f_{ij})$ well defined and the equation $ X'=X\mathcal A(f_{ij})$ giving rise to the extension $ E\supset F$.
