9 Acquired Metabolic Disorders L E I L A C HI M E LLI AND F R A N Ç O I S E G R AY A WIDE range of systemic acquired metabolic diseases can also affect the central and/or peripheral nervous system (e.g hypoxia, hypoglycemia, disorders of serum electrolytes, vitamin deficiencies, and exogenous intoxications) By and large, the morphologic manifestations of most of these diseases in the various organs of the body are nonspecific In the central nervous system (CNS), on the other hand, lesions may find expression via selective involvement of some brain regions with simultaneous complete preservation of others, a phenomenon often referred to as selective vulnerability The pathogenesis of the predisposition to injury of some anatomical areas and/or of some specific, largely neuronal, cell types varies considerably from one disease to another and is undoubtedly multifactorial in all Differences in the vascular patterns of irrigation and resulting alterations in regional perfusion may explain, at least partly, the phenomenon of selective vulnerability in some disorders Regional variations in the biochemical characteristics of neuronal populations or, most likely, in the distribution of receptors for various excitatory amino acids may also play a role in some others CEREBRAL HYPOXIA The brain normally receives about 15% of the cardiac output, consumes about 20% of the blood oxygen, and consumes about 10% to 20% of the blood glucose Different states of deficient oxygen supply and utilization or deficient substrate may produce prominent cerebral hypoxic changes: • Anoxic or hypoxic hypoxia results from decreased pulmonary access to oxygen This may be due to insufficient oxygen in the inspired air It also may result from upper airway obstruction or may accompany pulmonary disorders that impede the uptake of oxygen In rare instances (i.e., hyperthermia) it may be due to increased metabolic demand • 205 • Anemic hypoxia results from decreased oxygen transport, either from reduced hemoglobin levels or reduced capacity of the hemoglobin molecule to transport oxygen, as occurs in carbon monoxide poisoning • Stagnant hypoxia results from reduction or cessation of blood flow This can be the result of impaired cardiac output producing global ischemia, or can be localized as is the case in brain infarcts The cerebral lesions that result from stagnant hypoxia are due to a combination of an inadequate supply of oxygen and glucose and an accumulation of lactic acid • Histotoxic hypoxia results from exposure to intoxicants, such as cyanide or hydrogen sulfide, which render the neural parenchyma incapable of utilizing oxygen and substrates • Oxyachrestic hypoxia results from severe hypoglycemia, where oxygen is not utilized because of the severe metabolic substrate deficiency 1.1 Basic Cellular Reactions to Injury The basic cellular reactions to injury (see Chapter 1) seen in cerebral hypoxia mostly involve neurons (ischemic nerve cell change); glial cells may also be affected and this may be manifest, for example, as glial necrosis, reactive gliosis, or rod-shaped microglia and macrophage proliferation 1.2 Selective Tissue Lesions The cellular changes resulting from hypoxia are maximal in those areas of the brain that are regarded as showing selective vulnerability In the cerebral cortex, the neuronal changes are more pronounced in the third, fifth, and sixth layers of the neocortex In addition, the changes are more severe in the depths of sulci than along the banks or the apices of the gyri Widespread, severe destruction of the deeper layers of the cortex leads to laminar (or pseudo-laminar) necrosis (Fig.  9.1) This descriptive term applies to a phenomenon whereby the distribution of the necrosis is confined to one or more layers of the isocortex and may be especially evident in the parietal and occipital lobes, where impaired perfusion may exacerbate the effects of hypoxia In the most severe cases, the cortical necrosis is not selective 206 • FIGURE 9.1 Laminar cortical necrosis This is often most severe in the posterior frontal and parietal lobes The hippocampus (Ammon’s horn) often shows selective involvement by hypoxia This is most evident in the CA1 sector (an area that corresponds to what is anatomically defined as Sommer’s sector) (Fig. 9.2A, B) The CA3 area (also referred to as the endplate) is often less severely affected The CA2 area tends to be relatively resistant to hypoxic changes The regional variation in the susceptibility of the pyramidal hippocampal neurons is now best explained by implicating the distribution of excitotoxic receptors as an important pathogenetic factor Among the basal ganglia, the pallidum (especially the medial portion) (Fig.  9.3), the striatum, especially the lateral half of the putamen, and the thalamus are selectively vulnerable to hypoxia The mammillary bodies may be especially vulnerable when hypoxia occurs in infancy In the cerebellum, cortical involvement is frequent and affects chiefly the Purkinje cells with secondary proliferation of Bergmann glia The dentate nucleus is also frequently involved In the brainstem, the medullary olives are vulnerable areas In children, the brainstem is sometimes severely damaged, especially the medial and lateral reticular formations and the adjacent cranial nerve nuclei Various types of white matter lesions may be seen in isolation in response to anoxia or in association with gray matter damage Some white matter lesions consist predominantly of extravasation of edema fluid due to increased vascular permeability but with preservation of endothelial cells These lesions currently are designated as reversible E S C O U R O L L E & P O I R I E R ’ S M A N U A L O F B A S I C

a lesser extent the endplate (Luxol fast blue myelin stain) leukoencephalopathy and may be seen in hypoxia and other acquired metabolic disturbances or intoxications Other white matter lesions, often designated collectively as hypoxic encephalopathy, consist of varying proportions of demyelination and white matter necrosis The degree of severity of these lesions ranges from small, perivascular foci of demyelination, to focal plaque-like areas of demyelination and necrosis, and up to large confluent areas of demyelination and necrosis The lesions tend to be most severe deep in the white matter and are often associated with relative preservation of the subcortical “U” fibers (Fig. 9.4) that interval, a variable degree of cerebral swelling may be observed In cases of sudden death or where only moderate cerebral hypoxia has occurred, unquestionable signs of hypoxia may be discerned solely on histological examination; these changes consist of ischemic neurons in the most vulnerable areas, where they are difficult to detect before to 12 hours of survival beyond the insult Depending on the mechanism of cerebral anoxia, separate and distinctive patterns of ischemic changes are recognized 1.3 Variation of Lesions According to Etiology A survival time of approximately 48 hours is necessary for macroscopically visible lesions of cerebral hypoxia to become apparent Before FIGURE 9.3 Bilateral necrosis of the pallidum, gross appearance FIGURE 9.4 Whole-brain section showing extensive white matter demyelination with preservation of the U fibers in hypoxic leukoencephalopathy (Loyez stain) Chapter Acquired Metabolic Disorders • 207 C E RE BRAL I N FA R C TS Cerebral infarcts are the result of localized ischemic hypoxia due to vascular occlusion (see Chapter 4) Infarcts and/or ischemic lesions in the boundary zone areas are the result of global oligemic hypoxia, especially in the setting of low cerebral blood flow of sudden onset, even of short duration These lesions are one of the possible consequences of acute heart failure (cardiogenic shock), drug-induced hypotension, or general anesthesia C ARDI OVASCU L A R  A R R ES T Cardiovascular arrest exceeding three to four minutes at normal temperature ordinarily causes diffuse cortical lesions and Ammon’s horn involvement; the distribution and extent of damage in the basal ganglia and in the brainstem vary (Fig 9.5) Comparable lesions are caused by profound hypoglycemia (vide infra) and status epilepticus 3 C ARBON MONO X I D E P O I S O NI N G Carbon monoxide (CO) is produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing substances Humans are exposed to CO mainly through automobile exhaust, improperly ventilated stoves or heaters, and tobacco smoke The toxic effects of CO result primarily from the decreased capacity of blood to transport oxygen At autopsy examination, the brain of an individual who dies within a few hours of intoxication is diffusely swollen and congested The blood within vessels has the characteristic cherry-red color of FIGURE 9.5 Diffuse cortical and basal ganglia lesions in a case of delayed death following cardiovascular arrest 208 • carboxyhemoglobin; that hue is also imparted to the external and cut surface of the brain (Fig. 9.6) Scattered petechial hemorrhages also may be present With prolonged formalin fixation, the red discoloration becomes less prominent Some individuals who seem to recover clinically from acute toxic exposure to CO may, some days to weeks later, develop a neurological syndrome that includes neuropsychiatric manifestations including personality changes, parkinsonism, dementia, incontinence, and frank psychosis In these cases, different combinations of the neuropathological abnormalities described below may be found Pallidal necrosis is most often observed in fatal cases of CO intoxication occurring after some delay after the insult (6 or more days) Microscopic foci of ischemic or hemorrhagic necrosis may develop even sooner The pallidal lesions are usually bilateral but are often asymmetrical The necrosis usually involves the anterior portion and inner segment of the pallidum but may extend into the outer segment or dorsally into the internal capsule Although pallidal necrosis is characteristic of and frequently seen in delayed deaths from CO, it may also be seen in other conditions associated with hypoxia or anoxia (Figs 9.3, 9.7, and 9.8) The selective involvement of the globus pallidus in CO poisoning has been FIGURE 9.6 Macroscopic image of the brain from patient

conditions attributed to selective vulnerability of pallidal neurons, the result of hypotension and impaired circulation through the pallidal branches of the anterior choroidal arteries, or the relatively high iron content of this portion of the brain, which somehow renders the structure especially susceptible Other gray matter regions involved include the neocortical and hippocampal neurons, and the cerebellar Purkinje cells and granule cells, where there may be focal neuronal loss Lesions of the white matter are also encountered in individuals who die some time after CO poisoning These lesions consist of varying degrees of demyelination and associated necrosis There may be small perivascular foci found in the deep white matter, large confluent areas that extend from the frontal to occipital poles in the periventricular white matter, or sharply demarcated foci of demyelination with relative sparing of axons in the deep white matter (“Grinker’s myelinopathy”) (Fig. 9.8) All these lesions tend to spare the arcuate fibers 1.3.4 CYANIDES Cyanides are histotoxic or cytotoxic agents, the toxicity of which is due to bonding between the cyanide ion and the ferric iron of intracellular cytochrome oxidase This reaction leads to cessation of cellular respiration Acute intoxication can result from either ingestion or inhalation of cyanides and causes respiratory arrest Rarely, survivors of cyanide intoxication may develop parkinsonism or dystonia When death is acute, the brain may be edematous and in some cases focal subarachnoid hemorrhages FIGURE 9.8 CO poisoning Necrosis of the pallidum and white matter necrosis in a case of Grinker myelinopathy (Loyez stain) develop If death occurs some time later, the brain may show foci of necrosis in the basal ganglia and white matter and loss of Purkinje cells 1.3.5 HYPOGLYCEMIA Glucose is the principal source of energy in the CNS Neuronal stores of glucose and glycogen are relatively small and need practically continuous replenishment A  decrease of glucose level under 1.5mmol/L (25 to 30mg/100mL) leads to brain damage within one to two hours The most common cause of hypoglycemia is an excess of exogenous insulin The effects of hypoglycemia are not due just to the energy deficit Releases of aspartate and to a lesser extent release of glutamate probably contribute to neuronal damage through excitotoxic mechanisms In acute hypoglycemia, the lesions are similar to those of acute hypoxia but not identical In general, the pattern of injury is that of selective degeneration of neurons rather than frank necrosis of all other cellular components Affected neurons are shrunken with hypereosinophilic cytoplasm Initially, the nucleus is pyknotic, as seen in anoxia, but later may become eosinophilic and appears to blend in with the cytoplasm (nuclear dropout) The topography of the lesions is roughly similar to that in hypoxia, but Purkinje cells may be relatively spared Chapter Acquired Metabolic Disorders • 209 In long-term survivors of severe hypoglycemia who then come to postmortem examination, the cerebral cortex may appear thinned and the hippocampi shrunken and discolored The white matter is reduced in bulk and the ventricles are dilated There may be marked atrophy of the caudate nucleus and putamen On microscopic study, the cerebral cortex shows laminar neuronal loss and gliosis associated with capillary proliferation There is often dense subpial gliosis The hippocampal pyramidal cell layer and subiculum are replaced by a loose meshwork of glial tissue The white matter is usually rarefied and gliotic The caudate nucleus and putamen are diffusely gliotic The globus pallidus is relatively spared Moderate neuronal loss and gliosis may be evident in the thalamus As in acute hypoglycemia, the cerebellar cortex, including the Purkinje cells, is relatively spared HYPE R T HE RM I A Acute hyperthermia or heat stroke is a thermal insult to the cerebral thermoregulatory system controlling heat production and heat dissipation The thermal insult may be endogenous in “exertional heat stroke” or environmental “classic heat stroke.” It is also a feature of malignant hyperthermia, an autosomal dominant disorder of the skeletal muscle characterized by a hypermetabolic response to commonly used inhalation anesthetics and depolarizing muscle relaxants Clinically heat stroke is defined as a syndrome characterized by elevated core body temperature over 40° Celsius and neurological dysfunction Neuropathological studies are relatively few Abnormalities similar to those of hypoxic–ischemic damage, probably resulting from a combination of cardiovascular collapse and an increased metabolic rate, have been described Severe diffuse loss of Purkinje cells with consequent degeneration of the cerebellar efferent pathways is known to occur, but often in the absence of injury to Ammon’s horn and other areas susceptible to hypoxia FIGURE 9.9 Cross-section of pons from patient with CPM Note the ill-defined brown discoloration of the demyelinative lesion complication of the rapid rise in osmolality that accompanies excessively rapid correction or over-correction of chronic hyponatremia The clinical manifestations vary according to the size of the lesion—from asymptomatic to coma In life, the diagnosis can be made by MRI At autopsy, the typical CPM lesion appears as a discolored, destructive area in the basis pontis that may be centrally cavitated (Fig.  9.9) The lesions are often triangular, T-shaped, or diamond-shaped and vary from a few millimeters across (Fig.  9.10) to lesions that involve nearly the entire basis pontis Even when the lesion is extensive, generally at least a thin rim of intact tissue with myelin preservation ELECTROLYTIC DISTURBANCES 2.1 Central Pontine Myelinolysis Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is a monophasic demyelinating disease that predominantly involves the basis pontis It usually occurs as a 210 • FIGURE 9.10 (Loyez stain) Triangular lesion of limited CPM E S C O U R O L L E & P O I R I E R ’ S M A N U A L O F B A S I C N E U R O P AT H O L O G Y https://kat.cr/user/Blink99/ anatomically by close apposition of gray and white matter structures 2.2 Disorders of Iron Metabolism FIGURE 9.11 Large section of pons from a patient with extensive CPM (Loyez stain for myelin) is present at the lateral and ventral margins of the basis pontis (Fig.  9.11) Demyelination is usually maximal in the middle and rostral portions of the pons Lesions may extend to the middle cerebellar peduncles Histologically, the CPM lesion is characterized by demyelination with relative preservation of axons and neuronal perikarya (Fig 9.12) Acute lesions contain numerous lipid-laden macrophages but few or no inflammatory cell infiltrates Occasionally foci of necrosis and cavitation are present in the center of the more severe lesions Sometimes, especially in more severe cases, CPM is accompanied by extrapontine demyelinated lesions These may involve the subcortical white matter, striatum, anterior commissure, internal and external capsules, lateral geniculate bodies, and cerebellar folia As is the case in the pons, these extrapontine sites of involvement are characterized In primary or secondary hemochromatosis, the blood–brain barrier provides effective protection against the diffusion of protein-bound iron into the CNS Therefore, hemosiderin iron deposits are limited to regions of the CNS devoid of the blood– brain barrier, including the choroid plexuses, the area postrema, the pineal gland, adenohypophysis, dorsal root ganglia, and a number of vestigial remnants such as the paraphysis and the subfornical organ These regions have a gross rusty appearance and show marked Prussian blue reaction with ferrocyanide 2.3 Disorders of Calcium Metabolism Massive perivascular deposits including calcium (Fig.  9.13A) but also iron (Fig.  9.13B) and other minerals may be observed in the basal ganglia and sometimes in the dentate nucleus, the white matter, and Ammon’s horn (so-called Fahr syndrome) in a variety of circumstances, including hypoparathyroidism and conditions accompanied by hypercalcemia VITAMIN DEFICIENCY DISORDERS 3.1 Thiamine Deficiency FIGURE 9.12 Microscopic section of pons from a patient with CPM Note the intact neuron in the midst of an area of demyelination (Klüver-Barrera stain) The Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is caused by thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency from inadequate intake (beriberi, prolonged intravenous therapy without vitamin supplementation), significant nutritional deficit as in fasting or famine, gastric absorption defect such as in hyperemesis gravidarum, gastrointestinal neoplasms, and gastric plication for morbid obesity The distribution of the lesions of Wernicke encephalopathy is characteristic (Figs 9.14 and 9.15] and accounts for the symptoms, which include disturbances of wakefulness, hypertonia, and ocular palsies They are found in the periventricular areas, including the medial aspect of the thalamus, hypothalamus, and mammillary bodies, the Chapter Acquired Metabolic Disorders • 211 A B FIGURE 9.13 (A) Massive perivascular mineral deposits in a case of Fahr disease (H&E) (B) Iron perivascular deposits in the same patient revealed by Perl’s method for iron periaqueductal region at the level of the third cranial nerve, the reticular formations of the midbrain, caudal portion of the corpora quadrigemina, and the floor of the fourth ventricle The mammillary bodies are the most frequently affected structures and are involved in virtually all cases The changes vary with the stage and severity of the disease At gross examination, when patients die during the acute stages of the disease, petechial hemorrhages involve predominantly the mammillary bodies (Fig. 9.16) and sometimes may be more extensive (Fig.  9.15) In contrast, the lesions may be inconspicuous grossly Patients with less severe, chronic, or previously treated disease may have mildly atrophic mammillary bodies that are gray to brown in color as a result of hemosiderin deposition (Fig.  9.17) A  narrow band of tissue immediately adjacent to the ventricular system and around the aqueduct usually remains unaffected At microscopy, the acute lesions display edema, petechial hemorrhages, myelin loss, and reactive astrocytosis Neurons are generally preserved Swelling and hyperplasia of endothelial cells make the capillaries abnormally prominent (Fig.  9.18) The perivascular spaces may contain lipid-laden macrophages Extravasated erythrocytes and hemosiderin-laden macrophages are seen in the cases with grossly discernible petechial hemorrhages In the chronic stages of the disease and in treated patients the affected regions may show little more than mild loss of neurons and gliosis Central chromatolysis of neurons may result from associated niacin deficiency (see below) Korsakoff psychosis is defined clinically as retrograde amnesia and an impaired ability to acquire new information and is usually encountered in alcoholic patients with chronic Wernicke encephalopathy The pathological basis of that syndrome is debated It does not seem to result from the lesions of the mammillary bodies only Involvement of the medial dorsal nuclei (Figs 9.15A and 9.19) and/or midline region of the thalamus plays an important causative role, according to some authors Thiamine deficiency also produces peripheral neuropathy, including beriberi neuropathy and at least some cases of so-called alcoholic polyneuropathy 3.2 Pellagra FIGURE 9.14 Topographical distribution of the lesions in Wernicke encephalopathy 212 • Pellagra is clinically manifest typically

neurons of the spinal cord In some cases of niacin deficiency there may be degeneration of the posterior columns and corticospinal tracts 3.3 Vitamin B12 deficiency FIGURE 9.18 Microscopic appearance of the mammillary bodies from a patient with Wernicke encephalopathy Note the petechial hemorrhages and the swelling of the endothelial cells results from lack of P-P (pellagra preventive) factor (nicotinic acid or niacin) It is now known that deficiency of niacin itself, or of tryptophan, an amino acid precursor of niacin that is deficient in corn, leads to pellagra The disease has become very rare as the result of enriching common foods, such as bread, with niacin This vitamin deficiency is now encountered most often in patients with chronic alcoholism In these patients the disease may be clinically atypical, lacking the characteristic skin lesions The neuropathological changes resulting from niacin deficiency consist of isolated neuronal changes of central chromatolysis type (Fig.  9.20), without associated glial or vascular alterations They affect, in decreasing order of frequency, the Betz cells of the cerebral motor cortex, the pontine nuclei, the FIGURE 9.19 Petechial hemorrhages and myelin loss in the thalamus from a patient with Korsakoff syndrome 214 • Vitamin B12 is obtained primarily from meat and dairy products The vitamin must be bound to “intrinsic factor,” a glycoprotein produced by the gastric parietal cells, prior to being absorbed by the body through the ileum Most cases of vitamin B12 deficiency actually result from inadequate production of intrinsic factor In pernicious anemia, this is due to autoimmune atrophic gastritis, more rarely to gastric neoplasms or gastrectomy Vitamin B12 deficiency also can result from impaired ileal absorption, in individuals with malabsorption syndromes, intestinal tuberculosis, regional enteritis, or lymphomas Rarely the cause of the deficiency is the result of competitive utilization of the vitamin within the intestine by the fish tapeworm (Diphyllobothrium latum) or bacterial overgrowth in intestinal blind loops or diverticula Very similar changes (“vacuolar myelopathy”) have been observed in AIDS patients, resulting from abnormalities of vitamin B12 metabolism Vitamin B12 deficiency affects the hematopoietic (megaloblastic anemia), gastrointestinal (glossitis, anorexia, diarrhea, and weight loss), and nervous systems Neurological complications develop in 40% of untreated cases and can occur in the absence of hematological abnormalities The neuroanatomical/ clinical syndrome of nervous system involvement has been termed subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord The spinal cord from patients with longstanding severe vitamin B12 deficiency may be mildly shrunken, with discolored posterior and lateral columns Histologically, the earliest lesions consist of vacuolar distention of myelin sheaths, resulting in a characteristic spongy appearance of the affected white matter With further demyelination, lipid-laden macrophages become scattered throughout the lesions Some of the axons traversing the lesions undergo Wallerian degeneration Initially astrocytosis is not marked, but dense gliosis may be seen in patients who have had the disease for a protracted E S C O U R O L L E & P O I R I E R ’ S M A N U A L O F B A S I C N E U R O P AT H O L O
