Key Points

To document the imaging and pathological findings associated with encephaloclastic porencephaly in a Sulawesi crested macaque.
Animal case report
CT and MRI imaging analyses
Necropsy and histopathology examination
Cystic lesions identified in the occipital lobes and right cerebellar region
No contrast enhancement observed on CT scans
Diagnosis of inflammatory meningoencephalitis confirmed through histopathology

Abstract

A 3-year-old intact female Sulawesi crested macaque (Macaca nigra) was referred for progressive abnormal behavior and ataxia in all four limbs. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging revealed cystic lesions located in the occipital lobes and in the right cerebellar culmen, together with the presence of communication between the subarachnoid space and lateral ventricles. The lesions showed no contrast enhancement on CT. These imaging findings were consistent with porencephaly, which was confirmed on necropsy and histopathology. An inflammatory meningoencephalitis was diagnosed.
