Abordagem terapêutica do trauma cranioencefálico em aves: revisão de literatura e relato de caso

Abstract

The medical care of birds with traumatic brain injury suspected is common in wild animal medicine. The establishment of standardized therapeutic protocols can increase the survival of affected patients. The treatments used in humans and domestic animals can be extrapolated to birds, with some differences due to differences between classes. This paper presents a brief review of the anatomical differences of the central nervous system of birds, as well as the techniques to perform the neurological examination and the therapeutic approaches that can be adapted for the avian patient
