Abstract
German
A cat was accidentally poisoned by cyanide in a metal plating factory. It developed symmetrical necrotizing and demyelinating lesions involving most of the central white matter of the cerebral hemispheres, corpus callosum, anterior commissure, as well as focal lesions in globus pallidus, substantia nigra, cerebellum and hippocampus. This one animal had lesions in most of the areas previously known to be affected by cyanide in various species, and it also demonstrated the predilection of this poison for cerebral white matter.
