[Late lesions in cerebrocortical necrosis (CCN) of cattle]. 1976

W Seffner, and G Flachowsky

The brains of three young fattening bulls in which cerebrocortical necrosis had been cured by intensive vitamin-B1 treatment were histologically examined six, eight, and ten months after the clinical outbreak of the disease. Shrinkage foci were detected in the cerebral cortex, their localisation and extension depending on the course of the past disease. Part of the cerebrocortical centre was void, with differentiated amounts of fatty granular cells being scattered in regions of it. The findings were taken to indicate almost complete decomposition and resorption of the liquefied necrotic tissue. Glios cicatrisation occurred in places. A vacumn that had resulted from depression of the brain surface was filled up by proliferating loose connective tissue and vessels in the leptomeningeal region. The weight increase of fattening bulls with a case history of cerebrocortical nectosis was found to be much worse than that recordable from animals with no pathological record. Continued keeping of such cured animals, therefore, seems to be of poor economy.

D004678 Encephalomalacia Softening or loss of brain tissue following CEREBRAL INFARCTION; cerebral ischemia (see BRAIN ISCHEMIA), infection, CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA, or other injury. The term is often used during gross pathologic inspection to describe blurred cortical margins and decreased consistency of brain tissue following infarction. Multicystic encephalomalacia refers to the formation of multiple cystic cavities of various sizes in the cerebral cortex of neonates and infants following injury, most notably perinatal hypoxia-ischemic events.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
