Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A neuropathological examination was carried out on the brains of 58 foals. Forty-two were pony foals induced at various periods of gestation from 200 days onwards. Two were pre-viable pony foals delivered by caesarean section and 14 were Thoroughbred foals (one set of twins, two stillborn, five premature, two dysmature, two convulsive and one induced). The only significant pathological change involved intracranial haemorrhage. Subarachnoid haemorrhage occurred in all of 10 pony foals induced before 301 days of gestation and in two pony foals born by caesarean section at 270 and 280 days gestation. Subarachnoid haemorrhage was also present in some pony and Thoroughbred foals born after 301 days gestation; the incidence usually appeared greater in those pony foals which survived for the shortest periods. Haemorrhage also occurred elsewhere in the brains, including the cerebral white matter, the molecular layer of the cerebellum and the medulla, but the intensity could not be related to either length of gestation or duration of survival. No other neuropathological changes were found that could account for the functional state of the animals, whether they were pre-viable, premature, dysmature or convulsive. |
