Fibrocartilaginous Embolism of the Spinal Cord in Dogs: Review of 36 Histologically Confirmed Cases and Retrospective Study of 26 Suspected Cases

Abstract: Clinical features of 36 dogs with histologically confirmed fibrocartilaginous embolism (FCE) were contrasted with those of 26 dogs in which FCE was suspected based on characteristic clinical findings and the absence of compressive spinal cord disease on myelography. Dogs with confirmed and suspected FCE were of similar signalment, and had acute, nonprogressive dysfunction, often associated with trauma or exercise. The "suspected group included ibrocartilaginous embolism (FCE) is a syndrome of F acute spinal co… Show more

“…schemic myelopathy and ANNPE are common neurologic emergencies in dogs that have similar clinical signs [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] such as the hyperacute onset of nonprogressive, often markedly asymmetric spinal cord dysfunction without obvious signs of pain. 1,3,5,10 In dogs, ischemic myelopathy is most commonly associated with embolization of fibrocartilaginous material within the spinal cord vasculature that is histologically indistinguishable from nucleus pulposus (ie, fibrocartilaginous embolism) 5,6,[11][12][13] and causes sudden onset of regional ischemia resulting in necrosis of the spinal cord parenchyma.…”

“…Clinically, acute to subacute, nonprogressive, focal spinal cord dysfunction in the absence of hyperpathia is suggestive of fibrocartilaginous embolic myelopathy. 4,7,8 The following is a case report of fibrocartilaginous embolic myelopathy in a bovine.A 5-month-old Angus heifer calf was presented to the ambulatory service of the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH), Blacksburg, Virginia, with a history of being acutely down. The calf was found in lateral recumbency and was unable to rise with assistance.…”
