A 3-year-old male Scimitar-horned oryx presented for evaluation of an acutely deformed right horn with right head tilt and right facial pain. Computed tomographic evaluation revealed an increased volume of central fluid/soft tissue attenuation with gas-attenuating foci within the right horn. The right horn was amputated at the right horn base. Imaging and histopathologic features were consistent with emphysematous osteomyelitis. Following treatment, the patient returned to normal behavior. This is the first veterinary report describing the computed tomographic features of a horn infection in a Scimitar-horned oryx.
一只3岁雄性弯角剑羚因右角急性变形、头部向右侧倾斜及右侧面部疼痛前来评估。计算机断层扫描评估显示右角内中央液性/软组织密度影增加，伴有气体密度灶。在右角基部将右角截断。影像学和组织病理学特征符合气性骨髓炎。治疗后，该动物恢复了正常行为。这是第一份描述弯角剑羚角感染计算机断层扫描特征的兽医报告。
