Correlation between Cross-Sectional Anatomy and Computed Tomography of the Normal Six-Banded Armadillo (<em>Euphractus sexcintus</em>) Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinuses

Abstract

This research aimed to study the rostral part of the head of the six-banded armadillo, applying advanced imaging techniques such as CT. Furthermore, by combining the images obtained through this technique with anatomical cross-sections, an adequate description of the structures that constitute the rostral part of the head of this species is presented. This anatomical information could provide a valuable diagnostic tool for the clinical evaluation of different disorders in the six-banded armadillo’s nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.
