Abstract

This study investigated the detailed anatomical structures of the dromedary camel eye using ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) imaging modalities. Due to the limited existing research on comprehensive dromedary ocular anatomy, this study offers valuable insights for camel research. The methodology employs both trans corneal and retrobulbar ultrasonographic examinations, along with high-resolution CT scanning, to ensure meticulous image acquisition. Ultrasonography reveals the intricate anatomy of the anterior chamber, lens, vitreous body, and optic nerve. CT imaging delineates the bony orbit, globe morphology, and periorbital structures. This study provides specific biometric measurements, encompassing corneal thickness, lens diameter, and vitreous body depth. Results demonstrate the complementary roles of ultrasonography and CT in elucidating dromedary ocular anatomy. These findings enhance foundational knowledge in veterinary medicine, facilitating improved clinical diagnostics in dromedaries. Further, this work establishes a framework for future anatomical studies of camelid species and contributes to the advancement of veterinary care for these unique animals.
