Radiographs in chronic OM document deformed bone, often with thick, undulating cortices, and bony sequestra entrapped by lucencies indicative of fibrous tissue and or pus. |
Small sequestra may be found embedded in the granulation tissue. |
Use of nPCR to identify feline herpesvirus in ocular tissue from clinically normal cats and cats with corneal sequestra or conjunctivitis. |
Although bone sequestra and abscess are treated surgically, further extension of the operation may be counterproductive because it may expose healthy bone to the infection. |
They may also arise in situ, as in the case of sequestra and rhinoliths. |
The radiographs may reveal osteolysis, periosteal reaction and sequestra. |
