ABSTRACT
Sadi F., Reference intraocular ultrasonography biometric
values in Kord Horses, Onl
J Vet Res., 21(12):762-765,
2017. Reference ocular measurements determined in seven 3 to 5 year old normal
Kord horses are provided. Fourteen trans
palpebral ocular right and left eye echo biometric examinations were performed.
Horses were tranquillized with 0.3-0.4mg/kg acepromazine
and 0.05-0.1 mg/kg xylazine. Ultrasonographic
images were obtained with a 8 MHz linear probe in the
sagittal plane. B-scan images along the
central optic axis measured anterior-posterior length of the eye axis, lens diameter, depth of
anterior and vitreous chambers with sonograms on the horizontal plane. Mean anterior to posterior eye globe length was 39.1 ±
1.3mm, depth of anterior chamber 4.35 ± 1.18mm, vitreous chamber 16.95 ± 1.75mm
and lens thickness 11.85 ± 1.17mm. With exception of overall size of the
globe and internal structures, the ultrasonographic
appearance and echotexture of the Kord horse eye was
similar to that described in other equines.
Key words: Horse, ocular, ultrasonographic.
