TITLE:

Anatomical-radiographic description of the coelomatic cavity of the Amazon Turtle (Podocnemis expansa) and Tracajá (Podocnemis unifilis)

SPECIALTY: Radiologia de Animais
SUMMARY:

The testudines are among the most chosen reptiles as exotic pets and that is why they have been referred more frequently for veterinary evaluation, however, it is difficult to investigate pathologies in these individuals, due to their body conformation, which prevents a detailed physical examination. Imaging exams, mainly radiography, are used to assist in the clinical investigation, however the scarcity in the description of their anatomy, especially radiographic, reflects limitations in the assessment. That said, the objective of this work is to determine the distribution of the coelomatic organs of the species Podocnemis expansa (Turtle of the Amazon) and Podocnemis unifilis (Tracajá) by means of inspection by necropsy and correlate with the findings of simple radiography to subsequently produce a support material illustrative that facilitates the characterization of the coelomic organs (heart, liver, spleen, gastrointestinal, reproductive and urinary tracts) on radiography and allows a more accurate assessment and direction of differential diagnoses. For this purpose, 26 animals were evaluated, 10 alive and 3 dead of the species P. expansa and 10 alive and 3 dead of the species P. unifilis. The information provided in this work may also facilitate the use of auxiliary diagnostic techniques and improve access security in surgical procedures.
