Exophthalmos due to odontogenic intraorbital abscess in Cebus apella

Abstract

This represents the first report of an odontogenic periodontal abscess in Cebus apella.

Dental disorders in brown howler monkeys (Alouatta guariba clamitans) maintained in captivity

“…Non‐human primates may suffer from oral diseases including periodontal disease, gingivitis, tartar and calculus, caries, abscesses, osteomyelitis, malocclusion, pulp exposure, fistulas, tumors, injuries, and others . Because signs of the dental conditions may be non‐specific, the diagnosis sometimes is performed with the lesion in an advanced state .…”

Conjunctival flora, Schirmer's tear test, intraocular pressure, and conjunctival cytology in neotropical primates from Salvador, Brazil

“…Reports of eye diseases and determination of parameters for normal ophthalmic tests in primates are scarce. There are reports of a retrobulbar tumor in a squirrel monkey ( Saimiri sciureus ) , an odontogenic intraorbital abscess in a capuchin monkey ( Cebus apella ) and determination of ophthalmic parameters in capuchin monkey ( Cebus apella ) , tear production in squirrel monkey ( Saimiri sciureus ) , black‐tufted marmosets , and rhesus monkey ( Macaca mulatta ) and intraocular pressure (IOP) in rhesus monkey ( Macaca mulatta ) . To perform a proper diagnosis in wild and exotic species is necessary to determine normal baseline parameters for ophthalmic tests.…”
