Özet

Polioencephalomalacia was described in two senile male donkeys. Necropsy revealed necrosis and cavitations of irregular shape and depth, extending from the cortex into the inner brain, on the left cerebral hemisphere in the first case and the right cerebral hemisphere in the second case. Microscopic examination demonstrated the grey matter of the brain to have disappeared in many areas, and cyctic structures to have formed in some areas. Some were oedematous and in these areas the presences of myelin-filled phagocytic gitter cells, astrocytes and also slight perivascular lymphocyte infiltration was determined.
