“…in group II. All the pre-operative Schirmer tear test values were within normal limits, which matched the findings of Cabral et al (2008). Tear production did not differ with age, sex and time while, Hartley et al (2006) reported a 0.4 mm decline in tear production with each year in dogs.…”

Background: The current study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical efficacy of two different surgical methods for management of third eyelid gland prolapse in dogs. Methods: The study was conducted on 14 eyes of 11 dogs presented with third eyelid gland prolapse for surgical treatment. Two groups dogs were subjected to clinical and ophthalmic examination based on the surgical technique used i.e., Group I (n=8) in which modified Morgan’s pocket technique, Group II (n=6) in which modified orbital rim anchorage technique was used. Among the breeds brachycephalic dogs (54.54%, n=6) followed by mesocephalic dogs (45.45%, n=5). The modified Morgan’s pocket technique was adopted in 8 eyes of 7 dogs (1 bilateral, 6 unilateral) and the modified orbital rim anchorage technique was performed in 6 eyes of 4 dogs (2 bilateral, 2 unilateral). In Group I, the mean pre-operative Schirmer tear test value was 16.87±0.72 mm/min and in Group II, it was 17.33±0.67 mm/min, both values increased on 30th Post-operative day. Statistical analysis revealed that there was no significant difference between the two groups (p greater than 0.05), but there were significant differences within each group (p less than 0.05). The fluorescein dye test was repeated on 1st,7th,14th, 30th days post-operatively and found positive in the left eye of one dog with the reduced bilateral cherry eye on 7th post-operative day in group I. Third eyelid mobility was normal post-operatively in all the cases of group I. Whereas in group II, it is restricted in all the cases. Three cases regained normal contour by the 10th post-operative day whereas 5 cases by the 14th postoperative day in group I. In group II, 3 cases regained normal contour by 12th post-operative day and 3 cases regained by 14th post-operative day. One case in the group I tested positive for superficial corneal ulcer on the 7th post-operative day. One dog in group I had a recurrence after 45 days of repositioning. One dog in group II with reduced bilateral cherry eye had a recurrence in the left eye 30 days after surgery. Result: Present study, Modified Morgan’s pocket technique was considered superior over the modified orbital rim anchorage technique in view of technical feasibility and unrestricted third eyelid mobility.

“…A glândula, quando protruída, fica exposta e visível no canto medial do olho (HENDRIX, 2007), sendo que essa exposição resulta em inflamação (SLATTER, 2005) e gera sinais clínicos como conjuntivite, secreção ocular (WOUK; SOUZA; FARIAS, 2009) e diminuição da produção lacrimal nas glândulas expostas cronicamente (DUGAN et al, 1992;CABRAL et al, 2008). Por meio da histopatologia, pode-se observar hiperplasia linfoide da terceira pálpebra (WOUK; SOUZA; FARIAS, 2009).…”

Estudo retrospectivo de 71 casos de protrusão da glândula da terceira pálpebra (2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013). Arq. Ciênc. Vet. Zool. UNIPAR, Umuarama, v. 17, n. 3, p. 177-180, jul./set. 2014. RESUMO:Objetivou-se com esse estudo avaliar a incidência de protrusão da glândula da terceira pálpebra e correlacionar as características de raça e sexo com a lateralidade da alteração. Para isso, foram analisadas 3.151 fichas clínicas atendidas setor de oftalmologia veterinária da Universidade Estadual de São Paulo (UNESP) no período de 2009 a 2013, avaliando-se dados de incidência e lateralidade da afecção, além de idade, sexo e raça dos animais acometidos. Realizou-se a análise estatística de frequência e calculou-se o coeficiente de correlação de Spearman, considerando o nível de significância de 5%. Foram diagnosticados, no total, 71 casos de protrusão da glândula da terceira pálpebra em cães, correspondendo a 2,43% (71/2.916) da casuística de atendimento oftalmológico nesta espécie, porém não foi observado nenhum caso em gatos. Obteve-se uma maior frequência (58%, 41/71) em cães com idade inferior a 12 meses, sendo as raças mais acometidas: Lhasa Apso (24%, 17/71), Sem Raça Definida (20%, 14/71) e Beagle (14%, 10/71). Em 72% (44/71) dos casos a afecção se manifestou unilateral e 55% (39/71) dos animais eram fêmeas. Não houve correlação entre o sexo e a raça com a lateralidade da protrusão (p > 0,05). Com base no levantamento de dados realizados nesta instituição, conclui-se que a incidência da afecção é baixa em cães e rara em gatos, além de que não há influência do sexo e da raça com relação ao lado acometido pela alteração.

RETROSPECTIVE STUDY OF 71 CASES OF PROLAPSED THIRD EYELID GLAND (2009-2013)ABSTRACT: This paper aims to analyze the incidence of prolapsed third eyelid gland and correlate the breed and gender characteristics to the laterality of the alteration. In order to do this, three thousand one hundred and fifty-one (3151) medical records were analyzed at the Department of veterinary ophthalmology from the State University of São Paulo (UNESP) from 2009 to 2013, considering data such as the incidence and laterality of the disease, as well as age, gender and breed of affected animals. A frequency statistical analysis was performed and the Spearman correlation coefficient was calculated by taking the significance level of 5%. The prolapse of the third eyelid gland was diagnosed in 71 cases in dogs, which corresponds to 2.43% (71/2916) of the cases cared for in the ophthalmological assistance in this specie; however, no cases were observed in cats. Dogs younger than 12 months of age presented a higher frequency, (58%, 41/71). The breeds most affected were Lhasa Apso (24%, 17/71); Mongrel (20%, 14/71); and Beagle (14%, 10/71). The prolapse was unilateral in 72% (44/71) of the cases, and...

“…The third eyelid or nictitating membrane protects the globe by covering it when the animal blinks, fully or partially. It also acts as a windscreen wiper spreading the tear film evenly across the eyes in order to keep the cornea healthy [1]. The nictitans gland is positioned at the base of the third eyelid in the medial canthus and envelops the base of the upright T cartilage skeleton of the third eyelid.…”

“…However, the primary control of aqueous tear secretion is via the parasympathetic nervous system [4]. The glands produce up to 25 -40% of a tear film which is vital to the health of the surface of the eye [1,4,5].…”

Aim: To report the case of a prolapsed third eyelid gland in a bull mastiff in which surgical treatment using modified pocket technique was performed. Presentation: A two month old, male, bull mastiff weighing 30 kg was presented with a pinkish fleshy mass of tissue protruding from the medial canthus of the left eye, conjunctivitis and ocular discharges. The condition was confirmed to be a prolapse of the third eyelid gland following clinical examination. The surgical reposition of the prolapsed gland using pocket technique was done. Discussion: Cherry eye may occur secondary to inflammation and weakness of the supporting ligament that attaches the gland to its anatomical position. Surgical correction of the prolapse using Case Study
