Polioencephalomalacia (PEM) of ruminants is a neurological disorder, characterized by cerebrocortical necrosis. PEM has been involved with thiamine deficiency, sulfur intoxication and other less common factors include lead poisoning and water-deprivation-sodium ion toxicosis. In this study, the clinical signs, pathological findings and etiopathogenesis of PEM in ruminants are reviewed.
