Un mono ardilla (Saimiri oerstedii), adulto, macho con paresis posterior fue remitido al Laboratorio de Pa- tología de la Escuela de Medicina Veterinaria de la Universidad Nacional. El mono presentaba peritonitis, adherencias a nivel ileo-cólico con severa inflamación piogranulomatosa crónica, asociada a la presencia de Prosthenorchis elegans. Además, se observó un proceso de desmielinización focal en médula espinal a nivel toraco-lumbar, posiblemente ocasionado por un trauma. La acantocefaliasis asociada a Prosthenorchis elegans es una causa conocida de ileitis y colitis piogranulomatosa en primates no humanos del nuevo y viejo mundo. En algunos casos, esta enfermedad podría progresar a peritonitis, sepsis e inclusive muerte.
An adult male squirrel monkey (Saimiri oerstedii) with posterior paresis, was submitted to the Pathology De- partment of the Veterinary Medicine School of the National University. The monkey presented peritonitis, adhesions in the ileum-colic area with severe chronic pyogranulomatous inflammation, associated to the pre- sence of Prosthenorchis elegans. Besides, we found a focal demyelination at the thoraco-lumbar portion of the spinal cord probably associated with a previous trauma. Acanthocephaliasis associated to Prosthenorchis elegans is a common cause of pyogranulomatous ileitis and colitis in New and Old World non-human primates. In some cases this disease could progress to peritonitis, sepsis and even death.
