 Sinirsel bulgular gösteren 25 günlük bir buzağının ölüm sonrası nekropsisi yapıldı. Nekropside boynuz kaidelerinde deride yanıklar şekillenmiş olduğu gözlendi. Kafatası açıldığında sağ boynuz bölgesine denk gelen beyin dokusunda hemorajik ve nekrotik değişikliklerin şekillenmiş olduğu görüldü. Beyne atılan kesitlerde, kanama ve nekrozun beynin parenkiminde de bulunduğu dikkati çekti. Anamnezde sıcak dağlama ile boynuz köreltme işleminin yapıldığı öğrenildi. Alınan doku örneklerine mikroskobik inceleme için rutin takip prosedür-leri uygulandı. Mikroskobik incelemede beyinde yaygın nekroz ve kanama ile birlikte non-purulent meningitise rastlandı. Bazı parenkimal kan damarlarında fibrin trombüsleri dikkati çekti. Bu vakada beyin lezyonlarının koterizasyon kullanımı esnasında oluşan yüksek ısı etkisinden kaynaklanabileceği düşünülmüştür.

Brain Damage Following Dehorning in a Holstein-Friesian Calf

Öz

 A calf was necropsied after showing clinical neurological signs and death. Skin burns were observed at the bases of horns. Necrotic and hemorrhagic changes were seen in brain tissue just beneath the right horn. Similar lesions were also noticed in the cut sections of brain parenchyma. In the anamnesis, it was told the calf was operated for the dehorning by using electrocauterization. Tissue samples were collected and processed rou-tinely for the microscopical evaluation. Necrotic and hemorrhagic lesions and non-purulent meningitis were diagnosed in the microscopical examination of brain. Fibrin thromboses were also observed in some parenchy-mal blood vessels. We considered the brain lesions in the case may originatedue to high temperature used during the cauterization process.
