Background: Fibrocartilaginous embolic myelopathy (FCEM) is a rare cause of spinal cord
infarction. It has been confirmed by autopsy in postmortem cases. Herein we describe a …

Introduction Fibrocartilaginous embolism (FCE) of the spinal cord is an ischemic myelopathy
caused by rupture of the intervertebral disc and subsequent entrance of the nucleus …

Fibrocartilaginous embolism is a rare cause of spinal cord ischemia. Here we report the
case of a young previously healthy man who noted sudden thoracic spinal belt-like pain …

Fibrocartilaginous embolism is a rarely reported cause of spinal cord infarction. Seemingly
innocuous activities may be associated with nucleus pulposus material embolising to the …

Fibrocartilaginous Embolism (FCE) refers to the extrusion of some of the fibro-cartilaginous
nucleus pulposus material from within the inter-vertebral disc to eventually embolize into …

Fibrocartilaginous embolism (FCE) is an uncommon cause of spinal cord infarction often
misdiagnosed as transverse myelitis. The mechanism of ischemia is suspected to be due to …

Spinal cord infarction (SCI) occurs rarely and is characterized by abrupt onset of neck or
back pain and neurologic deterioration. Fibrocartilaginous embolism (FCE) of the spinal …

BACKGROUND: Fibro-Cartilaginous Embolism (FCE) is one of the understudied causes of
spinal cord infarction. Most spinal cord infarctions are due to aortic pathologies and aortic …

Fibrocartilaginous embolism (FCE) is a rare and probably under diagnosed cause of spinal
cord infarction presumably due to acute embolization of nucleus pulposus fragments into the …

Purpose Fibrocartilaginous nucleus pulposus components herniation and embolism rarely
causes acute ischaemic events involving the spinal cord. Few reports have suggested this …
