Enucleação transpalpebral em equino submetido a anestesia total intravenosa: relato de caso

Abstract

Horses are often affected by eye injuries that can compromise their vision to a greater or lesser extent. The ophthalmological pathologies that these animals present have different etiologies, which can be vascular, inflammatory, neoplastic or traumatic. The present report aims to describe the transpalpebral enucleation technique as a means of effective treatment based on a case report in a female horse, treated at the Veterinary Hospital of Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, after traumatic evisceration of the eyeball.
