Abstrakt: Fractures of vertebral column were studied by radiology, mielography and computed-tomography in 11 adult dogs with street accidents. Computed-tomography allowed the localization and evaluation of degree of compression of spinal cord. Spinal cord compression was induced both by dorsal vertebral arch and by vicious calluses of vertebral body. The compression realized by dorsal vertebral arch induced a primary trauma on dorsal and dorso-lateral part of spinal cord affecting the fascicles involved in proprioceptive transmission and voluntary mouvements. 5 patients were euthanasied and the histological exam of the spinal cord at the site of compression revealed: necrosis of the neurons both in grey and in white matter, their replacement by numerous astrocytes, vacuolization, demielinization of the axons of spinal nerve roots.
