The histology of cardiac blood clots in chicks exhibiting the "flip-over" syndrome.
Chickens exhibiting "flip-over" syndrome were found on necropsy to have a blood structure in the heart chamber. Histological studies showed that this structure is formed of erythrocytes, leucocytes, fibrin and serum. Fibroblasts, collagen fibers, and thrombocyte agglutination were not observed. These observations indicate that the structures studied are post-mortem blood clots.
