Ocular Lesions and Neurologic Findings in Traumatic Birds: A Retrospective Evalution of 114 Cases

Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the occurrence and types of trauma-related ocular disorders in 114 birds belonging to 39 species. For this purpose, both detailed neurological examination and ophthalmologic examina-tion results of the birds admitted to our clinics with a trauma history or trauma findings are presented. Thirty cases were evaluated to suffer from trauma-related eye injuries. Uvea lesions (n=12) were the most frequent disorder of traumatic eye injury. On cranial nerve assessment, anisocoria, pupillary light reflex, menace response, globe and third eyelid position, palpebral reflex, and nystagmus were evaluated. The most frequent neurologic finding of traumatic eye injury was anisocoria (n=9). Ophthalmologic examination accompanying neurological examination is the most important fac-tor in the early management of traumatic birds.
