ABSTRACT
The authors report a study of the cerebral vasculature of premature rabbits pertaining to the germinal matrix (GM). A pigmented silicone material (Microfil) was injected into the carotid artery of anesthetized rabbits. Methyl methacrylate vascular casts of a similar group of premature rabbits were examined by scanning electron microscopy. The GM is supplied by arteries from both the basal and convexity surfaces of the brain. Vessels could be identified as arteries or veins by their typical patterns of branching and by the characteristic impressions made on the methyl methacrylate casts by endothelial nuclei. Specific evidence of structural weaknesses in the vasculature, which could be a site of predilection for GM bleeding, was not observed. The similarities in basal ganglia vasculature between premature rabbits and humans justifies using the rabbit model to study vascular aspects of the GM and intraventricular hemorrhage.
