Successful conservative management of multiple skull fracture and quadrate-mandibular medial luxation in a blue-and-yellow macaw (Ara ararauna)
The CT examination allowed us to obtain a more detailed and complete view of the fractures and traumas and to evaluate the complex articular system of the Psittaciformes beak. For these reasons, CT is recommended for birds with a history of head trauma to select the best treatment for the specific case.
