Clinical description:
On post-mortem examination, gross lesions may be observed on the brains of birds with encephalomalacia. The most common lesions are usually found on the cerebellum. The cerebellum of the affected bird on the left shows swelling, blunting of the ridges, and small petechial hemorrhages on its surface. The normal brain on the right is shown for comparison.
Pathologic description:
This picture shows the brains of two birds. The brain on the right is normal. The cerebellum of the bird on the left is markedly swollen, the normal ridges are obscured, and the surface of the tissue is covered by multiple variably-sized petechiae.
