A method is described for producing venous, venular and capillary obstruction with various substances in the brains of dogs, the histologic changes produced depending on the substance used. By the use of various oils, lesions may be produced which in their early stages closely resemble those of non-suppurative "encephalitis." Probably milder degrees of the reaction may regress in time. The later stages (up to 10 mos.) of the lesions consist of plaques of demyelinization with practically complete preservation of the axis-cylinders and with dense fibrous gliosis confined to the white matter. The similarity between such lesions and many of those seen in cases of multiple sclerosis in man is so striking that the conclusion appears almost inevitable that venular obstruction is the essential immediate antecedent to the formation of typical sclerotic plaques. Other facts pointing to the same conclusion are briefly reviewed.
