Sistematização, distribuição e território da artéria cerebral caudal na superfície do encéfalo em peru (Meleagris gallopavo)

Thirty Meleagris gallopavo heads with their neck segments were used. Animals were contained and euthanized with the association of mebezonium iodide, embutramide and tetracaine hydrochloride (T 61, Intervet ) by intravenous injection. The arterial system was rinsed with cold saline solution (15°C), with 5000IU heparin and filled with red-colored latex. The samples were fixed in 20% formaldehyde for seven days. The brains were removed with a segment of cervical spinal cord and after, the dura-mater was removed and the arteries dissected. The cerebral carotid arteries, after the intercarotid anastomosis, were projected around the hypophysis, until they reached the tuber cinereum and divided into their terminal branches, the caudal branch and the rostral branch. The rostral branch was projected rostrolateralwards and gave off, in sequence, two collateral branches, the caudal cerebral and the middle cerebral arteries and the terminal branch was as cerebroethmoidal artery. The caudal cerebral artery of one antimere formed the interhemispheric artery, which gave off dorsal hemispheric branches to the convex surface of both antimeres. Its dorsal tectal mesencephalic branch, of only one antimere, originated the dorsal cerebellar artery. In the interior of the cerebral transverse fissure, after the origin of the dorsal tectal mesencephalic artery, the caudal cerebral artery emitted occipital hemispheric branches, pineal branches and medial hemispheric branches, on both antimeres. The caudal cerebral artery's territory comprehended the entire surface of the dorsal hemioptic lobe, the rostral surface of the cerebellum, the diencephalic structures, the caudal pole and the medial surface of the cerebral hemisphere and in the convex surface, the sagittal eminence except for its most rostral third. Due to the asymmetry found in the caudal cerebral arteries' ramifications, the models were classified into three types and their respective subtypes.Foram utilizadas 30 cabeças com o segmento de pescoço deMeleagris gallopavo. Os animais foram contidos e eutanasiados com a associação de iodeto de mebezônio, embutramida e cloridrato de tetracaína (T 61 Intervet ), via endovenosa. O sistema arterial foi lavado com solução salina resfriada (15°C), com 5000UI heparina e preenchido com látex corado em vermelho. As peças foram fixadas em formaldeído a 20% por sete dias. O encéfalo foi removido com um segmento de medula espinhal, a dura-máter removida e as artérias dissecadas. As artérias carótidas do cérebro, após a anastomose intercarótica, projetaram-se contornando a hipófise até alcançarem o túber cinéreo e dividiram-se em seus ramos terminais, o ramo caudal e o ramo rostral. O ramo rostral projetou-se rostro-lateralmente emitindo em sequência seus dois principais ramos colaterais, as artérias cerebral caudal e cerebral média terminado-se como artéria cerebroetmoidal. A artéria cerebral caudal de um antímero formava a artéria inter-hemisférica que lançava ramos hemisféricos dosais para a face convexa de ambos os antímeros. Seu ramo tectal mesencefálico dorsal de apenas um antímero originava a artéria cerebelar dorsal. No interior da fissura transversa do cérebro após a origem da artéria tectal mesencefálica dorsal artéria cerebral caudal lançou ramos hemisféricos occipitais, ramos pineais e hemisféricos mediais em ambos os antímeros. O território da artéria cerebral caudal compreendeu toda a superfície do hemi lobo óptico dorsal, a face rostral do cerebelo, as estruturas diencefálicas, o polo caudal e a face medial do hemisfério cerebral e na face convexa do hemisfério cerebral a eminência sagital exceto seu terço mais rostral. Devido à assimetria encontrada nas ramificações das artérias cerebrais caudais, foram classificados os modelos em três tipos com seus respectivos subtipos

The arterial system was filled with latex 603 stained in red through the right and left brachiocephalic trunk, with further microscopical analysis. The origin of the source of blood supply to the encephalus and arteries of the ventral surface of the brain were systematized. The aortic arch emitted the left (L) and right (R) brachiocephalic trunk (100%), the brachiocephalic trunk emitted the R and L subclavian arteries (100%) and the R and L common carotid arteries (100%), and from this the internal carotid artery was originated, which emitted the R and L cerebral carotid arteries (100%). At the base of the brain, the arteries occurred in the respective percentages: cerebral carotid artery (100%), obliqual intercarotid anastomosis to the L (50%), of contact (“X”) (26.7%), obliqual to the R (13.3%) and transversal (10%). The internal ophthalmic artery was present to the R and L (100%). The caudal branch of the cerebral carotid artery was vestigial (70%) and developed (30%) to the R, whereas it was developed (70%) and vestigial (30%) to the L. The basilar artery was formed (70%) from the left developed caudal branch and (30%) the right branch. The ventral mesencephalic tectal artery (70%) to the R and (30%) L was a direct branch of the cerebral carotid artery, whereas to the L (70%) and R (30%) it was a collateral branch of the developed caudal branch of the cerebral carotid artery. Collateral branches of the basilar artery: rostral ventral cerebellar artery was present to the (86.7%) at both antimerous. Caudal ventral cerebellar artery to the R was single (73.3%), double (23.3%) and triple (3.3%). The caudal ventral cerebellar artery to the L was single (73.3%) and double (26.7%). The dorsal spinal pattern artery was a branch of the collateral branch of the caudal ventral cerebellar artery to the R (80%) and L (73.3%).

Systematization, distribution and territory of the middle cerebral artery and cerebroethmoidal artery on the brain’s surface of the turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)

Background: The cerebral arteries constitute the main blood transportation via to the brain and play a fundamental role in the maintenance of normal cerebral activities. There are a few studies about the encephalic irrigation in the wild and exotic species. This study aims to describe and systematize the middle cerebral artery and cerebroethmoidal artery of Meleagris gallopavo, to determine a standard model and territorial area of irrigation, and the main variations in this species. Materials, Methods & Results: For this research, 30 brain with the cervical spinal cord segment of 10 male and 20 female young and adult turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) were used. Discarded animals were provided from Doux Frangosul breeding center, located in Caxias do Sul city, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, 2006. Animals were euthanized with T 61, with an intravenous injection. After the removal of the skin, the sternum was removed, the common carotid arteries were cannulated through the brachycephalic trunks. The arterial system of the 30 animals were rinsed with saline solution with heparin and fi lled with latex colored in red. Animals remained immersed for one hour in running water, and next, the neck was sectioned. Next, a bone window was opened in the skullcap. Pieces were fi xed in 20% formaldehyde for seven days, and after this period, the brain was removed from the cranial vault, the dura-mater was removed and the arteries dissected for observation. Schematic drawings from all brains, the middle cerebral artery and cerebroethmoidal artery were prepared. Statistical analysis of the results was performed using percentage values. Nomina Anatomica Avium [2] was used for the designation of studied vessels. The territory of the middle cerebral artery comprehended the entire base extension of the cerebral hemisphere, except for a most medial and caudal triangular area, which was vascularized by the rostral cerebral artery. At the convex surface of the cerebral hemisphere, its territory reached the telencephalic vallecula. Its rostral hemispheric branches vascularized the frontal pole of the cerebral hemisphere and olfactory bulb, and also the rostral third of the sagittal eminence. The territory of the cerebroethmoidal artery and its ramifi cations vascularized a small triangular area at the base of the cerebral hemisphere between the middle cerebral artery and the optic chiasm, however its main vascular function in birds is to irrigate the entire nasal cavity. Discussion: The middle cerebral artery was projected in arch rostrolateromedialwards through the ventral surface of the cerebral hemisphere and gave off several perforating branches, which penetrated in the striated complex of the birds. It gave off ventral hemispheric branches, which were projected medialwards at the base of the cerebral hemisphere and disputed with the rostral cerebral artery for the vascularization of this area, and a sequence of lateral hemispheric branches, which ascended to the cerebral hemisphere, at the convex surface, at the level of the telencephalic vallecula and the terminal branch was the rostral hemispheric branches, which curved towards the lateral side of the olfactory bulb, ascending to the convex surface, vascularizing the most rostral third of the sagittal eminence. The cerebroethmoidal artery is the natural continuation of the rostral branch of the cerebral carotid artery, from the origin of the middle cerebral artery. It gave off as collateral branches the rostral cerebral artery, a small vessel projected from the cerebroethmoidal artery and the ethmoidal artery, which was projected rostralwards towards the olfactory bulb, following the interhemispheric fi ssure, reaching the olfactory bulb and the nasal cavity, through the olfactory foramen

Rabdomiossarcoma alveolar em papagaio (Amazona Aestiva)

Uma ampla variedade de doenças neoplásicas é vista em espécies de aves de estimação, sendo que freqüentemente se apresentam como massas ou lesões que ocupam espaço, tendo suas aparências variadas e, com isso, devem ser diferenciadas. Neoplasias de origem musculares são raras em espécies de aves domésticas ou de vida livre. Rabdomiossarcomas geralmente se manifestam como nódulos irregulares na região das asas e se apresentam de coloração amarronzada. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo relatar a ocorrência de um rabdomiossarcoma alveolar na região cervical ventral esquerda de um papagaio ( Amazona aestiva) de nove anos de idade atendido no Hospital de Clínicas Veterinárias da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (HCV-UFRGS), Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil

Sistematização, descrição e território das artérias cerebrais média e caudal, artéria cerebroetmoidal e da artéria cerebelar ventral caudal na superfície do encéfalo em peru (Meleagris gallopavo)

Neste trabalho foi descrito e sistematizado a distribuição e território das artérias cerebrais média e caudal, artéria cerebroetmoidal e artéria cerebelar ventral caudal na superfície do encéfalo de 30 perus (Meleagris gallopavo), 10 machos e 20 fêmeas, jovens e adultos (idade entre 2,5 meses e 3,5). A artéria cerebral caudal de um antímero formava a artéria inter-hemisférica que lançava ramos hemisféricos dorsais para a face convexa de ambos os antímeros. Seu ramo tectal mesencefálico dorsal de apenas um antímero originava a artéria cerebelar dorsal. No interior da fissura transversa do cérebro, após a origem da artéria tectal mesencefálica dorsal, a artéria cerebral caudal lançou ramos hemisféricos occipitais, ramos pineais e hemisféricos mediais em ambos os antímeros. O território da artéria cerebral caudal compreendeu toda a superfície do hemilobo óptico dorsal, a face rostral do cerebelo, as estruturas diencefálicas, o polo caudal e a face medial do hemisfério cerebral e na face convexa do hemisfério cerebral a eminência sagital exceto seu terço mais rostral. Devido à assimetria encontrada nas ramificações das artérias cerebrais caudais, foram classificados os modelos em três tipos com seus respectivos subtipos. A artéria cerebral média projetou-se em arco rostrolátero- medialmente através da superfície ventral do hemisfério cerebral e lançou inúmeros ramos perfurantes que penetravam no complexo estriado das aves. Lançou ramos hemisféricos ventrais que projetaram-se em direção medial na base do hemisfério cerebral e concorriam com a artéria cerebral rostral na vascularização dessa área, e uma sequência de ramos hemisféricos laterais que ascendiam no hemisfério cerebral, na face convexa, até a altura da valécula telencefálica e terminou-se em seus ramos hemisféricos rostrais, que curvaram-se lateralmente ao bulbo olfatório, dorsalmente, ascendendo à face convexa, vascularizando o terço mais rostral da eminência sagital. O território da artéria cerebral média compreendeu toda a extensão da base do hemisfério cerebral exceto uma área triangular mais medial e caudal que era vascularizada pela artéria cerebral rostral. Na face convexa do hemisfério cerebral, seu território alcançava a valécula telencefálica. Seus ramos hemisféricos rostrais vascularizavam o polo frontal do hemisfério cerebral e bulbo olfatório, mais o terço rostral da eminência sagital. A artéria cerebroetmoidal é a continuação natural do ramo rostral da artéria carótida do cérebro, a partir da origem da artéria cerebral média. Emitiu como ramos colaterais a artéria cerebral rostral, um vaso pequeno projetado da artéria cerebroetmoidal e a artéria etmoidal que projetou-se rostralmente em direção ao bulbo olfatório, acompanhando a fissura inter-hemisférica, alcançando o bulbo olfatório e a cavidade nasal, através do forame olfatório. O território da artéria cerebroetmoidal e suas ramificações vascularizaram uma pequena área triangular da base do hemisfério cerebral entre a artéria cerebral média e o quiasma óptico, porém sua principal função vascular nas aves, é irrigar toda a cavidade nasal. No peru a artéria carótida do cérebro, de apenas um antímero, apresentou seu ramo caudal desenvolvido formando à artéria basilar. No antímero oposto, o ramo caudal transformou-se na artéria tectal mesencefálica ventral e sua terminação medial, o ramo caudal vestigial, mergulhava na fossa interpeduncular, não se anastomosando com o ramo desenvolvido do antímero oposto. O círculo arterial cerebral foi sempre aberto caudalmente. O ramo caudal desenvolvido apresentou como ramo colateral a artéria tectal mesencefálica ventral. O mesencéfalo do peru era composto pelo lobo óptico que teve sua face dorsal vascularizada pela artéria tectal mesencefálica dorsal, ramo da artéria cerebral caudal. Sua face ventral foi vascularizada pelas ramificações da artéria tectal mesencefálica ventral. Esta apresentou variações alcançando parte do cerebelo, principalmente seus lóbulos ventro-rostrais. O rombencéfalo era composto por medula oblonga e cerebelo e foi vascularizado por dois pares principais de artérias cerebelares ventrais rostrais e caudais. A face rostral do cerebelo foi suprida, quando da presença, pela artéria cerebelar dorsal, proveniente de apenas um antímero, ramo da artéria tectal mesencefálica dorsal, pertencente ao sistema arterial cerebral caudal.In this work was described and systematized the distribution and territory of the middle and caudal cerebral arteries, cerebroethmoidal and caudal ventral cerebellar arteries at the surface of the brain of 30 young and adult turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo), 10 males and 20 females.

Systematization, distribution and territory of the caudal cerebral artery on the brain's surface of the turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)

Thirty Meleagris gallopavo heads with their neck segments were used. Animals were contained and euthanized with the association of mebezonium iodide, embutramide and tetracaine hydrochloride (T 61, Intervet ) by intravenous injection. The arterial system was rinsed with cold saline solution (15°C), with 5000IU heparin and filled with red-colored latex. The samples were fixed in 20% formaldehyde for seven days. The brains were removed with a segment of cervical spinal cord and after, the dura-mater was removed and the arteries dissected. The cerebral carotid arteries, after the intercarotid anastomosis, were projected around the hypophysis, until they reached the tuber cinereum and divided into their terminal branches, the caudal branch and the rostral branch. The rostral branch was projected rostrolateralwards and gave off, in sequence, two collateral branches, the caudal cerebral and the middle cerebral arteries and the terminal branch was as cerebroethmoidal artery. The caudal cerebral artery of one antimere formed the interhemispheric artery, which gave off dorsal hemispheric branches to the convex surface of both antimeres. Its dorsal tectal mesencephalic branch, of only one antimere, originated the dorsal cerebellar artery. In the interior of the cerebral transverse fissure, after the origin of the dorsal tectal mesencephalic artery, the caudal cerebral artery emitted occipital hemispheric branches, pineal branches and medial hemispheric branches, on both antimeres. The caudal cerebral artery's territory comprehended the entire surface of the dorsal hemioptic lobe, the rostral surface of the cerebellum, the diencephalic structures, the caudal pole and the medial surface of the cerebral hemisphere and in the convex surface, the sagittal eminence except for its most rostral third. Due to the asymmetry found in the caudal cerebral arteries' ramifications, the models were classified into three types and their respective subtypes

Thirty heads with neck segments of turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) were dissected for a systematic study of the arteries. The frequency of the arteries found was: Cerebral carotid artery, intercarotid anastomosis and internal ophthalmic artery (100%). Caudal branch of the cerebral carotid artery to the right (R) vestigial artery (70%) and developed (30%) and to the left (L) developed (70%) and vestigial artery (30%). Ventral tectal mesencephalic artery in (70%) to R and (30%) to L was the direct branch of the cerebral carotid artery to L (70%) and to R (30%) collateral branch of the developed caudal branch. Basilar artery to L in (70%) and to R (30%) formed from the developed caudal branch; rostral ventral cerebellar artery present (86.7%) and absent (13.3%) to R and L. Caudal ventral cerebellar artery to R single (73.3%), double (23.3%) and triple (3.3%); caudal ventral cerebellar artery to L single (73.3%) and double (26.7%). Dorsal spinal artery branch of caudal ventral cerebellar artery to R (80%) and to L (73.3%). The rostral branch of cerebral carotid artery showed as collateral branches the single caudal cerebral artery to R (100%) and to L (96.7%) while in (3.3%) it was double. The middle cerebral artery was single to R and L (100%). Cerebroethmoidal artery to R and L (100%) with its collateral branch to single rostral cerebral artery (90%) to R and (86.7%) to L and double (10%) to R and (13.3%) to L. Ethmoidal artery to R and to L (100%) single. The cerebral arterial circle was rostrally and caudally opened, so that the cerebral blood supply was exclusively made by the carotid system.Trinta cabeças de peru Meleagris gallopavo , com segmento de pescoço, foram dissecados para o estudo sistemático das artérias. As maiores ocorrências das artérias foram: Artéria (A.) carótida do cérebro, anastomose intercarótica e A. oftálmica interna (100%). Ramo caudal da carótida do cérebro à direita (D) vestigial (70%) e desenvolvido (30%) e à esquerda (E) desenvolvido (70%) e vestigial (30%). A A. tectal mesencefálica ventral em (70%) à D e (30%) à E foi ramo direto da A. carótida do cérebro à E (70%) e à D (30%) ramo colateral do ramo caudal desenvolvido. A A. basilar à E em (70%) e à D (30%) formou- se do ramo caudal desenvolvido. A. cerebelar ventral rostral presente (86,7%) e ausente (13,3%) à D e E. A. cerebelar ventral caudal à D única (73,3%), dupla (23,3%) e tripla (3,3%). A. cerebelar ventral caudal à E única (73,3%) e dupla (26,7%). A. espinhal dorsal ramo da A. cerebelar ventral caudal à D (80%) e à E (73,3%). O ramo rostral da A. carótida do cérebro apresentou como ramos colaterais a A. cerebral caudal à D única (100%) e à E (96,7%) já em (3,3%) era dupla; A. cerebral média única à D e E (100%). A. cerebroetmoidal à D e E (100%) com seu ramo colateral a A. cerebral rostral única (90%) à D e (86,7%) à E e dupla (10%) à D e (13,3%) à E. A. etmoidal à D e à E (100%) única. Observou-se que o círculo arterial cerebral foi aberto rostralmente e caudalmente e o suprimento de sangue para o encéfalo foi exclusivamente pelo sistema carotídeo

Rhabdomyosarcoma in amazon parrot (Amazona aestiva)

Uma ampla variedade de doenças neoplásicas é vista em espécies de aves de estimação, sendo que freqüentemente se apresentam como massas ou lesões que ocupam espaço, tendo suas aparências variadas e, com isso, devem ser diferenciadas. Neoplasias de origem musculares são raras em espécies de aves domésticas ou de vida livre. Rabdomiossarcomas geralmente se manifestam como nódulos irregulares na região das asas e se apresentam de coloração amarronzada. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo relatar a ocorrência de um rabdomiossarcoma alveolar na região cervical ventral esquerda de um papagaio (Amazona aestiva) de nove anos de idade atendido no Hospital de Clínicas Veterinárias da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (HCV-UFRGS), Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil.A wide variety of neoplastic diseases had been seen in pet avian species. Often presenting as masses or spaceoccupying lesions, their gross appearance is varied and must be differentiated. Neoplastic diseases started by muscles are rare in pet avian apecies or free-life. In general, rhabdomyosarcoma shows as irregular nodules, situated in the wings and colored in brown. This work aim to relate the occurrence a rhabdomyosarcoma in the left ventral cervical region of a parrot (Amazona aestiva) nine years old, adverted at Veterinary Clinic Hospital of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (HCVUFRGS), Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
