-- The objectives of this study were to describe the radiologic findings of plain radiography in animals with suspected herniated disc and to establish its coincidence with the computed tomography (CT) examination. Sixteen dogs were studied who came to the Small Animal Clinic of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine - UNMSM between July 2007 and December 2009, whose neurological evaluation revealed a neurological dysfunction compatible with thoracolumbar spinal cord compression and a magnitude of injury from grade III. Two patients were withdrawn of study for failure to submit suspected diagnosis of disc herniation in both plain radiographic and CT examination. Plain radiographs identified 14 animals with radiographic abnormalities consistent with a herniated disc. The comparison of the results between radiographic and CT examinations showed that 71.4% (10/14) of cases agreed on the diagnosis of the presence of the disease and location of the affected intervertebral space. The radiographic findings most common in animals suspected to herniated disc type 1 were narrowed intervertebral space 92.9% (13/14), decreased size intervertebral foramen 57.1% (8/14) and opacity of the intervertebral foramen 28.6% (4/14). The most common CT findings in animals with herniated disc type 1 were the presence of disc material in the spinal canal and spinal canal stenosis both at 100% (12/12), and the foraminal space stenosis in the 66.7% (8/12). The intervertebral space most affected of segment thoracolumbar (T3-L3) was the L1-L2 with 33.3% (4/12). The results show that the plain radiography can’t be regarded as an absolute indicator in the diagnosis of herniated disc type 1, as apparently found radiographic changes are not decisive enough and; therefore, is necessary to perform a diagnostic protocol starting with obtaining a plain radiography always complemented by a CT examination. Key words: Herniated disc type 1, plain radiography, computed tomography, thoracolumbar.
