Spongy transformation in the brain of sheep affected with chronic lupinosis in the field is described. Identical lesions were reproduced in sheep with experimental acute and chronic lupinosis. The primary brain lesion was vacuolation of the white matter of the brain stem with no malacia, neuronal damage or gliosis being present. The extent and severity of the vacuolation was related to the severity of the liver lesion.
描述了在野外患有慢性羽扇豆中毒的绵羊大脑中的海绵状病变。在实验性急性和慢性羽扇豆中毒的绵羊中重现了相同的病变。原发性脑病变是脑干白质的空泡化，不存在软化、神经元损伤或胶质细胞增生。空泡化的程度和严重程度与肝脏病变的严重程度相关。
