Prevalência de turbinados aberrantes e desvio do septo nasal em Bouledogues Franceses

Abstract

A crescente popularidade das raças braquicéfalas tornou a Síndrome Braquicefálica uma afeção frequente em clínica de animais de companhia. Esta caracteriza-se por alterações anatómicas que provocam a obstrução das vias aéreas superiores. O presente estudo retrospetivo avaliou a prevalência de turbinados aberrantes e de desvio do septo nasal em 45 Bouledogues Franceses, sem sinais clínicos compatíveis com Síndrome Braquicefálica, submetidos a exame de tomografia computorizada craniano. Os resultados mostraram que 68,9% da população de Bouledogues Franceses apresenta desvio do septo nasal, com maior probabilidade de ocorrência naqueles que pesam entre 11-14 kg, seguidos dos com 8-11 kg. É também expectável que 64,4% dos Bouledogues Franceses apresentem turbinados aberrantes caudais. Em Bouledogues Franceses, estas anomalias intranasais podem não estar a contribuir para o aparecimento desta síndrome pois a sua prevalência é elevada em animais sem esta afeção; Prevalence of aberrant turbinates and nasal septum deviation in French Bulldogs ABSTRACT: The increasing popularity of brachycephalic breeds has made Brachycephalic Syndrome a common disease in small animal clinics. This syndrome is characterized by anatomical changes that cause upper airways obstruction. The present retrospective study evaluated the prevalence of aberrant turbinates and nasal septum deviation in 45 French Bulldogs without clinical signs compatible with Brachycephalic Syndrome, subjected to head’s computed tomography exam. The results showed that 68,9% of the French Bulldog population had nasal septum deviation, with a higher probability of occurrence in those with weight between 11-14 kg, followed by those with 8-11 kg. It is expected that 64,4% of French Bulldogs will have caudal aberrant turbinates. In French Bulldogs these intranasal abnormalities may not be contributing to the appearance of the Brachycephalic Syndrome because their prevalence is high in animals without this condition.
