Samenvatting: 

In 56 dogs and 1 cat a diagnosis of suspected fibrocartilaginous embolism was made based on the history, the typical clinical presentation, and the absence of specific abnormalities on radiography and myelography. None of the diagnoses was confirmed by histopathological examination; since none of the patients was euthanized at the time of diagnosis. Therapy consisted of supportive care, with additional physio and/or hydrotherapy in a quarter of the cases. Short- and long-term results (more than 1 year after diagnosis) were better than earlier reported.
