Polioencephalomalacia.

Journal of Animal Science, 1998
Polioencephalomalacia (PEM) is a neuropathologic condition of ruminants that can be induced by a variety of neural metabolic disruptions. These include altered thiamine status, water deprivation-sodium ion toxicosis, lead poisoning, and high sulfur intake.

Polioencephalomalacia

Veterinary Clinics of North America - Food Animal Practice, 1987
Polioencephalomalacia, a disease of ruminants, is most likely due to a thiamine deficiency and is most frequently associated with intensive feeding conditions or with recent changes in management. The clinical signs of incoordination and blindness followed by recumbency and opisthotonus can resolve relatively rapidly when treated early with thiamine ...

Polioencephalomalacia in Range Cattle

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1979
SUMMARY Polioencephalomalacia developed in 27 of 225 cattle grazing on 486 hectares of dry, short, grama grass pasture. Chemicals in drinking water, toxin from nitrate-utilizing ruminal bacteria, and documented poisonous plants were considered as etiologic agents.

Polioencephalomalacia in the Dog

Veterinary Pathology, 1979
Disturbance of cerebral blood flow from causes such as meningitis, thromboembolic disease and atherosclerosis was considered an important factor in the pathogenesis of polioencephalomalacia in 25 dogs. In dogs with polioencephalomalacia of undetermined cause, the distribution of lesions in neocortex and paleocortex suggested a change of neuronal ...

Update on Sulfur-Related Polioencephalomalacia

Veterinary Clinics of North America - Food Animal Practice, 2000
Sulfur-related polioencephalomalacia is frequently associated with a high total sulfur intake by ruminants. The onset of clinical signs coincides with excessive ruminal sulfide production. Measurement of ruminal gas cap hydrogen sulfide makes it possible to identify cattle with potentially hazardous total sulfur intake.
