Resumo
An outbreak of poisoning by Senna occidentalis in wild boars in Goiás, Brazil, is described.
Out of 80 wild boars, 15 were affected and one died. Clinical signs included apathy, muscle
tremors, incoordination, reluctance to move, sternal or lateral recumbence, and paresis and
spastic paralysis, especially in the hind limbs. Gross lesions were characterized by moderate
to severe paleness of the skeletal muscles of the hind and thoracic limbs and loin, and were
marked in the thigh muscles. Histologically, a monophasic, mild to moderate, multifocal
floccular muscle degeneration and necrosis with skeletal fiber sarcoplasmic fragmentation
was observed. In transverse sections there were multiple swollen and hypereosinophilic
muscle fibers. In addition, mild to moderate, diffuse microvacuolar degeneration was seen in
the liver. Creatine phosphokinase serum activity was severely elevated in two evaluated wild
boars. In one of them, there was elevation of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase serum activity
