Periventricular leucomalacia (PVL)-like lesions in two neonatal cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis).
Journal of Comparative Pathology 2011 Februrary
Periventricular leucomalacia (PVL) is a lesion of immature cerebral white matter that occurs in the perinatal period. In man, PVL is the predominant form of brain injury and a cause of cerebral palsy and cognitive deficits in premature infants. PVL affects fetuses and newborns, particularly those who have undergone oxygen deprivation as may occur in premature birth. Many clinical and pathological studies of PVL have been performed in man, but there is no clear definition of PVL in animals. A few spontaneous PVL-like cases in puppies or experimental cases in other animal species have been reported. The present study reports the histopathological and immunohistochemical features of PVL-like lesions in two neonatal cynomolgus monkeys. In both cases, there was cerebral white matter necrosis with marked infiltration of lipid-laden phagocytes and a reduction of neurons in the cerebral cortex. In case 1 there was extensive cavitation of the cerebral white matter. In case 2 there was reactive astrocytosis associated with a decrease in oligodendroglial cells and a decrease in cerebral white matter myelin. To our knowledge, this is the first report of PVL-like leucoencephalomalacia in non-human primates.
