Abstract
Los animales exóticos, como todos los seres vivos, sufren distintos tipos de afecciones patológicas. Algunas, como los que afectan a los aparatos reproductor, respiratorio o digestivo, son más conocidas. Sin embargo, estos procesos no son tan conocidos cuando afectan al sistema nervioso. Hoy en día, las herramientas que se utilizan para el diagnóstico de las enfermedades neurológicas de estas especies son muy limitadas. En muchos casos, quizá en la mayoría, no es posible establecer el origen del problema, y hay que tratar el cuadro sin conocer la etiología. El proyecto que se propone trata de llenar este vacío que existe, tanto en el Grado en Veterinaria como en el ejercicio profesional, mediante el uso de la resonancia magnética. Esta técnica de imagen está generalizado en el perro y en el gato, pero es prácticamente inexistente en especies exóticas como saurios, serpientes o guacamayos.
Exotic animals, like all living beings, suffer from different types of pathological conditions or diseases. Some, such as those that affect the reproductive, respiratory or digestive systems, are better known. However, knowledge on those processes related to the nervous system is not enough. Today, the tools used for the diagnosis of neurological diseases of exotic species are very limited. In many cases, perhaps most, it is not possible to establish the origin of the problem. The proposed project tries to give information that does not exist up to date, neither in the Degree in Veterinary Medicine nor in professional practice, through the use of magnetic resonance imaging. This imaging technique is generalized in dogs and cats, but it is practically null in exotic species such as saurians, snakes or macaws.
