Morfometria do encéfalo e formação do circuito arterial em equinos mestiços

Morphometry of the brain and arterial circuit formation in crossbread horse

Resumos

O objetivo desta investigação foi caracterizar a morfometria do encéfalo e a formação do circuito arterial em equinos adultos mestiços de ambos os sexos. A fixação foi feita através de cânula plástica introduzida na artéria carótida comum com solução de formaldeído a 10%. Em seguida, foram feitas repleções vasculares com solução aquosa de Petrolátex S65 corado com pigmento Suvinil vermelho. Procedeu-se a craniotomia, remoção e morfometria dos encéfalos e dissecção para a observação das ramificações principais da artéria basilar e formação do circuito arterial. A média mais erro padrão da média do comprimento da artéria basilar foi de3,629 cm ± 0,1550 nos machos e 4,423 cm ± 0,1990 nas fêmeas (p=0,0037). Em todos os equinos dissecados, a artéria basilar originou-se da convergência das artérias vertebrais, emitindo a artéria cerebelar caudal, ramos variados para bulbo e ponte, ramos terminais e artérias cerebelares rostrais. As artérias da base do encéfalo estiveram na dependência dos sistemas carótico e vértebrobasilar. O circuito arterial do cérebro apresentou-se fechado rostral e caudalmente em 100% dos animais dissecados.

The aim of this study was to describe the main branches of the basilar artery, formation of the arterial circuit and the morphometry of the brain in adult crossbreed horses of both sexes. The setting was made by plastic tube inserted into the common carotid artery with 10% formaldehyde solution. After fixed, latex solution stained with pigment was injected. Craniotomy, morphometry of the brain and dissection were made to identify the main branches of the basilar arteries and the formation of the arterial circuit. The mean and standard error of the mean of the basilar artery was 3.629 cm ± 0.1550 in males and 4.423 cm ± 0.1990 in females (p=0.0037). In all animals the basilar artery originated from the fusion of the vertebral arteries giving rise to caudal cerebellar arteries, different numbers of branches to bulbus and pons, terminal branches and rostral cerebellar arteries. The arteries of the base of the brain depended on the carotid and vertebral-basilar systems. The brain circuit was closed rostrally and caudally in all horses.
