A Simmental calf with hind limb paralysis and neurological issues was diagnosed with thiamine deficiency. Post-mortem revealed aortic thrombosis and muscle necrosis, suggesting a link between thiamine deficiency and vascular events in calves.

Area of Science:

Veterinary Neurology
Comparative Pathology
Ruminant Medicine

Background:

Sensomotoric dysfunction and hind limb paralysis in young calves can stem from various neurological and vascular etiologies.
Thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency is a known cause of cerebrocortical necrosis in ruminants, but its association with vascular events is less understood.

Observation:

A two-month-old Simmental calf presented with severe neurological deficits, including cerebral dysfunction and hind limb paralysis.
Clinical examination revealed reduced skin temperature and absent femoral pulses in the hind limbs, alongside normal cerebrospinal fluid parameters and bone structure on radiographs.
A thiamine pyrophosphate test confirmed thiamine deficiency.

Findings:

Post-mortem examination identified thrombosis of the abdominal aorta cranial to the iliac arteries.

This vascular event led to consecutive necrosis of the skeletal muscle in both hind limbs.

The findings suggest a potential link between thiamine deficiency and aortic thrombosis in this calf.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of considering vascular complications alongside neurological signs in calves with suspected thiamine deficiency.
Further research into the pathogenesis of aortic thrombosis secondary to thiamine deficiency in young cattle may be warranted.
Accurate diagnosis and understanding of multifactorial diseases are crucial for effective veterinary intervention and herd health management.
