Resumo
Entrópion consiste na inversão da margem palpebral, que causa irritação ocular, podendo originar lesões corneais. A condição afeta animais de todas as idades e raças, embora existam raças com predisposição genética. A presente dissertação teve como objetivo o estudo do entrópion nos animais de companhia. A primeira parte do trabalho consiste numa revisão bibliográfica sobre a anatomia ocular e a etiologia, sinais clínicos, terapêutica e prognóstico de entrópion, tendo sido analisados posteriormente quatro casos clínicos acompanhados durante o estágio da autora. Foram descritos casos de entrópion, dois em cães e dois em gatos, em animais da raça Cocker Spaniel Inglês, Shar Pei, Persa e Maine Coon, raças descritas como tendo uma predisposição genética para entrópion. Os sinais clínicos apresentados em cada caso variaram conforme o grau e a cronicidade da condição. Quanto à terapêutica, em três dos casos, realizou-se o método Hotz-Celsus, que se mostrou eficaz na correção de entrópion com etiologias e graus diferentes. Foi também descrito um caso de entrópion num cão jovem de raça Shar Pei, em que foram aplicadas tacking sutures como procedimento temporário, visando melhorar a qualidade de vida do animal bem como a correção temporária da condição, até que o animal atingisse o primeiro ano de vida.
Entropion is characterized by the inversion of the eyelid margin, which leads to ocular irritation and may cause further corneal damage. This condition affects animals of all ages and breeds, although some breeds have been described as having genetic predispositions. The goal of this dissertation was to study entropion in companion animals. The first part consists of a bibliographic review of the ocular anatomy and aetiology, clinical signs, treatment and prognosis of entropion, followed by the analyses of four clinical cases registered during the author’s internship. Four clinical cases of entropion were described, two in dogs and two in cats, in animals of the English Cocker Spaniel, Shar Pei, Persian and Maine Coon breeds, these breeds have been previously associated with genetic predisposition. The clinical signs presented in each case varied according to the degree and chronicity of the condition. Three of the clinical cases used the Hotz-Celsus method for treatment, which was proved to be efficient in correcting entropion of different aetiologies and degrees. One of the cases described occurred in a Shar Pei puppy, in which tacking sutures were applied as a temporary procedure, aiming to improve the animal’s life quality, and provide temporary correction, until it reached one year of age.
