Abstract

A 1-year-old Goffin cockatoo (Cacatua goffini) presented a soft non-painful and balloon-like mass around the cervical area. Subcutaneous emphysema due to cervicocephalic air sac trauma was diagnosed based on history and physical examination, and was confirmed by radiographic examination. Because the cutaneous tab was unsuccessful, a modified syringe stent was carried out. The bird showed no adverse signs for two weeks after implantation. After surgical removal of the stent, the bird did not reveal subcutaneous emphysema.

1살령 Goffin cockatoo (Cacatua goffini)가 경부 주변의 부드러운 무통성의 풍선 모양 종괴를 주증으로 내원 하였다. 문진과 신체 검사를 통해 두경부 기낭의 외상에 의한 피하 기종으로 진단하였으며, 이를 방사선 검사로 확인 하였다. 피하 탭이 성공적이지 못하여, 변경된 시린지를 이용한 스텐트를 장착하였다. 장착 2주 간 부작용은 나타나지 않았으며 스텐트의 수술적 제거 후, 피하 기종은 소실되었다.
