Diseases of the accessory organs of the eye remain a grave problem in veterinary ophthalmology. The accessory organs of the eye protect the eyeball against external factors, as well as enabling it proper rotation and vision. Pathological processes more and more frequently disturb ophthalmologic practice of veterinary doctors. The paper was designed to review the anatomy of the accessory organs of the eye: the lids, the conjunctiva, the third eyelid, the superficial and deep glands of the third eyelid, the lacrimal apparatus and the orbital fasciae in domestic animals. Such a compilation may help to conduct surgery in veterinary ophthalmology.
The prevalence of feline lower tract disease, irrespective of cause, has been reported to be approximately 1.5% to 8%. It has been estimated that 10% to 20% of cats with these disorders have urethral plugs or urolithiasis. Most of the small diameter calculi do not produce any problems in animals. However, the larger ones can become lodged in the urethra and obstruction may then ensue. Cats with urethral strictures are more susceptible to becoming obstructed. Abnormalities can develop as a result of repeated past procedures within or around the urethra urinary tract. Subsequently, obstruction can develop in one, two or more segments of the urethra. The occlusions frequently occur in a single segment of the urethra, but sometimes multiple occlusions are present in the same patient. The treatment of elderly cats can be challenging. This article presents the case of a 15-year-old male cat with obstructions in two segments of the urethra successfully treated with surgery. The cat recovered although it required multiple hours of surgery and the post-operative course had been complicated. Surgical treatment of urethral obstruction can be successful even in elderly cats.
Stellate ganglion (ganglion cervicothoracicum s. ganglion stellatum) is a part of pars cervical sympathica. Investigations were carry out on fetuses of 16 dogs of the American Staffordshire Terrier (AST) breed, 7 of which were the male and 9 female. The fetuses were taken out from 10 uteruses on the 62nd day of pregnancy. The examination was carried out with a magnifying glass (magnification 1.55.0×) and a stereoscopic microscope. During the preparation, in order to better perceive the anatomical structures, 0.5-2% acetic acid was used. The measurements were taken with an electronic slide caliper to the nearest 0.1 mm. For the investigations methods used in topographical anatomy were applied: i.e. holotopy and sceletotopy. According to our research stellate ganglion of dogs is located in the section between C5-8 and Th1-3. It occurs in the aftermath of a combination of 3 or 4 ganglion: inferior cervical ganglion, first thoracic ganglion, two thoracic ganglion, or tree thoracic ganglion. It is characterized by different location, form, morphometry in relation to sex and body side. Nervous branches spread out of stellate ganglion have also been characterized.
This research was conducted on 22 red-eared sliders during hibernation and after arousal. The material came from Poznan Zoo (Poland). Species affiliation was established on the basis of the Turtles of the World key. The examined sliders were of a similar age. The histological, histochemical and ultrastructural studies were conducted during hibernation and after arousal. Additionally analysis of liver elemental composition (C, O2, Na, Ca, Al., P, Mg and S) was performed. The results showed morphological and ultrastructural liver changes, related to hibernation process concerning shape and size of hepatocytes as well as morphology and location of cell organelles. The conducted elemental analyses revealed during hibernation the reduction of the phosphorus levels up to70-80% while after arousal there was distinct increase of oxygen, sodium and aluminum concentration noticed.
The cervicothoracic or stellate ganglion belongs to the cervical part of sympa­thetic system. In animals it is formed by the combination of the caudal cervical ganglion with the first and often second thoracic ganglion. The study was conducted on 20 newborn Persian cats [7 males and 13 females] coming from the 58th day of gestation. The research has shown that the cervicothoracic ganglion is formed from the fusion of three or four gan­glia: the caudal cervical ganglion [GCca], first thoracic ganglion [GThl], second thoracic ganglion [GTh2], third thoracic ganglion [GTh3]. It is situated in C7-8 -Th1-3 segment. It is characterized by variable location relative to the cervical and thoracic segment of the vertebral column [skeletotopy] and various shape [oval, oblong, triangular, oblong with a distinct narrowing]. The morphometry of the examined cervicothoracic ganglion proved that the longest cervicothoracic ganglion is found on the left side in females [= 3.016 mm], the shortest on the right side also in females [= 2.790 mm]. The widest ganglion is found in males on the right side [ = 1.758 mm], the narrowest in females on the left side [= 1.418 mm].
The lacrimal gland (LG) and superficial gland of the third eyelid (SGTE) belong to accessory organs of the eye. The aim of the present studies was to evaluate the histological, histochemical and fine structure of the LG and SGTE obtained from 3 adult females and 2 adult males of alpaca (Vicugna pacos). The LG was situated in the dorsolateral angle of the orbit between the dorsal rectus and the lateral rectus muscles. The SGTE was located between the medial rectus muscle, the ventral rectus muscle and was partially covered by the ventral oblique muscle of the eyeball. There were no effect of gender on the morphometry of examined LG and SGTE. The third eyelid resembles an anchor in shape. During histological and ultrastructural analyses using light and transmission electron microscopy, it was established that the LG and SGTE are tubulo-acinar glands with mucoserous characters. The LG contains either lymphocytes or plasma cells, while SGTE had rare plasma cells and numerous lymphocytes in connective tissue. The cartilage of the third eyelid was composed of hyaline tissue. Numerous aggregations of lymphocytes as lymph nodules in bulbar surface of the third eyelid were observed. The LG and SGTE secretory cells exhibited a similar ultrastructure appearance in electron microscopic examination, with secretory cells tightly filled with intracytoplasmatic secretory granules and numerous clusters of mucus of different sizes which were observed in the peripheral cells compartment.

Materiał do badań stanowiły zwłoki dorosłych osobników, obu płci, w różnym wieku. Przebadano serca: 40 kotów domowych krótkowłosych (Felis silvestris f. catus), 50 norek amerykańskich (Neovison vison) i 23 nornic rudych (Myodes glareolus). Przeprowadzono preparację i morfometrię wyizolowanych serc. Określono: masę ciała zwierzęcia (BW), masę serca (HW), wysokość serca (H) i szerokość serca (W). Uzyskane dane posłużyły do wyliczenia udziału procentowego masy serca w stosunku do masy ciała (I1 ). Różnicę pomiędzy populacją samców i samic dla poszczególnych parametrów określano za pomocą testu NIR Fishera (w odniesieniu do kotów oraz norek), a także za pomocą testu U Manna-Whitneya (w odniesieniu do nornic rudych) przy poziomie istotności p≤0,05. U wszystkich osobników wysokość serca była większa od szerokości. Średnia wartość HW wyniosła 19,08 g dla kota domowego krótkowłosego; norki amerykańskiej 13,05 g; nornicy rudej 0,13 g. Natomiast średnia wartość I1 wyniosła: 0,59% dla kota domowego krótkowłosego; norki amerykańskiej 0,66%; nornicy rudej 0,70%.
Modern methods of diagnosis and treatment used in veterinary practice require detailed knowledge of the morphology, including clinical aspects of the subepicardial vessels of the heart. The study was performed on 60 hearts of female and male adult domestic shorthair cats. A distinct view of subepicardial arterial vessels was obtained by filling them with dyed synthetic latex (LBS 3060). The next stage of the study consisted in a detailed preparation of the left and right coronary arteries with a Global surgical microscope. The aim of the study was to determine the most frequent pattern of vascularization of the cat’s heart. In all specimens, the left coronary artery (a. coronaria sinistra) and the right coronary artery (a. coronaria dextra) were present. The origin, course, and termination of the coronary arteries were determined. Considering the clinical importance of the coronary arteries and their branches, universal nomenclature was suggested.
Skin and respiratory diseases, as well as tumours are the most frequently diagnosed diseases in pet rats. From among all the types of tumours found in this species of animals, fibrosarcoma is rarely observed. In this clinical case, a fast growth of fibrosarcoma and it is expansion in the left middle and inner ear led to a head tilt (torticollis) and facial nerve paralysis on the same side and were a decisive argument for euthanasia. The aim of the study was to reveal that the individual approach to each patient and a thorough clinical examination are extremely important. They allow to avoid mistakes, put a correct diagnosis and start an appropriate treatment.
Background: Coronary vessels have been widely studied in many species of domestic and wild mammals. However, there are no available literature reports describing the morphology and morphometry of the coronary ostia of the European bison (Bison bonasus). The aim of this study was to measure the area of the coronary ostia and assess their localisation in the coronary sinuses of the aortic root in the European bison. Materials and methods: The study material comprised 27 hearts from European bison of both sexes (16 males and 11 females), from 3 months to 26 years old, inhabiting the Bialowieza Forest (Bialowieza National Park, Poland). The animals were divided into two age groups: ≤ 5 years (group I) and > 5 years (group II). Results: In all the studied European bison, the aortic valve consisted of three semilunar leaflets, left, right and septal. The ostia of both coronary arteries were located beneath the sinotubular junction. The dimensions of the left coronary ostium were larger than those of the right coronary ostium. They were longer by on average 4.5 mm (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.5–5.6 mm), they were wider by on average 1.6 mm (95% CI 1.0–2.2 mm) and they had a larger area by on average 31.6 mm² (95% CI 22.7–40.5 mm²). This was evident both in young and in adult bison. After adjusting for age, there were no differences in the ostia dimensions between males and females. There were no differences in the structure of the left and right coronary arteries in nine animals. In the remaining 18 animals, there were variations in the morphology of the coronary ostia or additional ostia. Conclusions: Because of the anatomical similarity between the European bison and other ruminants, the results of this study can be applied to the other species including endangered ones.

The aim of the study was to investigate the morphology and morphometry of ramifications of the aortic arch in domestic shorthair cats in relation to the sex of the animals. The morphological study was performed on 61 hearts of adult domestic shorthair cats of both sexes, preserved in the 10% solution of formalin. Measurements of the area of openings of basic branches and distances between them were performed. In cats we can observe a double type of direct ramification of the aortic arch: the brachiocephalic trunk and the left subclavian artery. In all studied cases, the surface area of the ostium of the brachiocephalic trunk (SABT) was greater 4.94 ± 1.35 mm² than the surface area of the ostium of the left subclavian artery (SALSA) 2.38 ± 0.88 mm². The average difference between the opening area of the above vessels (r) amounted to 2.56 mm². In the studied group of cats, the distance between the openings (d) varied between 0.5 and 4.37 mm. In the post hoc comparison of the mean values no statistically significant differences were found between the population of males and females. Fundamental changes in the structure of openings were found in two females. The first one concerned a secondary division of the brachiocephalic trunk opening and the second one – a secondary division of the opening of the left subclavian artery in the area of their parting from the aortic arch. CT angiography or MRI angiography is the method of choice for diagnosis of vascular disorders or malformations. The knowledge of the aortic arch morphology in various species of animals is a prerequisite for a correct assessment of the results of imaging tests.
