Abstract

The seroma is classified as an accumulation of extracellular tissue fluid, in the dead space, between the tissue planes of a surgical wound, which can generate a progressive increase in volume at the site. The purpose of this report is to describe the occurrence of seroma in anophthalmic cavity of red howler (Alouatta guariba clamitans). A red-howler, female, infant (approximately 1 year old) was attended with an increase in ocular volume, after 6 months of having performed the enucleation procedure with blepharorraphy. Upon physical examination, carried out by means of chemical restraint of the patient (ketamine 8mg / kg, IM), the animal did not present any systemic changes worthy of note, and in the ophthalmic evaluation, only an increase in the volume of anophthalmic cavity, of soft consistency, was found. For diagnostic purposes, a puncture was performed using a 22G hypodermic needle and sterile syringe, and 4.5 ml of translucent liquid present in anophthalmic cavity was collected. In cytological analysis of the material, the presence of 2 leukocytes per analyzed field and 2 g/dL of protein was observed. From this, the presence of seroma was diagnosed. It is concluded that palliative treatment of ocular drainage was effective for the patient, periodic drainage being recommended.
