Evaluation of ocular parameters by ultrasonography in Colombian Criollo horses
The ocular ultrasound in equines represents one of the most common diagnostic methods used in the determination of possible ocular abnormalities, the ultrasound approach using mode B, allows the analysis of the different anatomical structures in a non-invasive way, the technique It is indicated in patients with ocular trauma, corneal opacity, retinal detachment and suspicion of retrobulbar neoplasms. During the study, a total of six equines of the Colombian Creole breed, of indifferent sex, with an established age between 4 and 12 years old and a body condition between 2.5 and 4 (on a scale of 6) were taken into account. For each of the animals, bilateral ocular ultrasonography was performed using a transpalpebral technique in which anatomical structures such as the cornea, anterior chamber, lens, retrobulbar space, retina, and otic disc were evaluated. From these, specific quantitative measurements were made for the anterior chamber. retina and optic disc. According to the results found, it was determined that the anterior chamber presented a value of 4 mm (± 0.07), in the retina a value of 2.4 mm (± 0.03) was obtained, and in the optical disc 4.3 mm (± 0.05). It was concluded that the values obtained for the Colombian creole breed are similar to those reported in other breeds.
