ABSTRACT
Vali R., Reference measurements and ultrasonographic intraocular structures in goats, Onl J Vet Res., 20(6):410-, 2016. Ultrasonography is a safe and non-invasive method used
to diagnose ocular disorders and complements routine examination. We describe ultrasonographic
appearance and measurements of intraocular structures in normal Mamasani goats. Transcorneal ultrasonographic
scanning of left and right eyes of 20 goats was performed with a 9 MHZ
transducer placed in a longitudinal position sagittal plane for optimal B-scan
imaging. Mean and standard deviation of anterior chamber was 3.19±0.24mm, lens
thickness 8.41±0.29mm, vitreous chamber depth 10.89±0.20mm and axial globe
length 22.25±0.65mm. Females had shorter
anterior and vitreous
chambers depth than males (P<0.05) but measurements between right and left eyes were not
different (P>0.05) in any goat. The reference data may be useful for
diagnoses of ocular abnormalities in this goat.
KEY WORDS: Mamasani goat, Eye, Intraocular structures, Ultrasonography.
