The clinical and pathological aspects of spinal cord infarction associated with fibrocartilaginous embolism are described in 11 dogs and one cat. Detailed neurological examination, CSF analysis and, in certain cases, myelography, facilitate clinical diagnosis. Severe spinal cord lesions with malacia and cavitation were found PM. In nine cases, fibrocartilaginous emboli in arteries or veins of the leptomeningeal space or of the spinal cord parenchyma were found.
