Resumo: The Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca is a common ophthalmopathy among dogs and can be accompanied by periocular alopecia resulting from the extension of inflammation and concomitant eyelid. In the study, medical records of dogs with keratoconjunctivitis sicca and blepharitis treated at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the Londrina State University between the years 2008 and 2012 were analyzed, seeking patients with periocular alopecia and checking the frequency of these diseases in the population in relation to gender, age, breed, affected eye, other concomitant ophthalmic disorders, possible etiologies and the presence of systemic diseases. From the analysis of data it was intended to discuss the relationship between the occurrence of periocular alopecia and decreased tear production and possible causes, ocular present, systemic illnesses, affected breeds, gender and age. The Schirmer Tear Test was the method used to measure the tear production. 187 dogs were studied, 147 of which had keratoconjunctivitis sicca and 71 had blepharitis. 31 dogs showed associated diseases. There were 41 cases of alopecia periocular with no difference in the frequency of involvement in relation to gender. In regard to the affected eye, 95% of cases were bilateral. The breeds with higher prevalence were Poodle, Lhasa Apso, English Cocker Spaniel and mixed breed dogs. The ages with higher occurrence were two years, with 19% of the animals, four and twelve years with 12%. Among the 32 animals with periocular alopecia who had systemic diseases, 22 had dermatopathies. It was concluded that keratoconjunctivitis sicca and blepharitis are not frequently associated and the occurrence of periocular alopecia occurs in most cases of blepharitis, although it may less frequently present itself in the CCS. Despite the decreased tear production displayed in some patients with periocular alopecia, one cannot say that it is always present in these cases.

No estudo foram analisados prontuários de cães com Ceratoconjuntivite Seca e Blefarites atendidos no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Estadual de Londrina entre os anos de 2008 e 2012, para buscar pacientes com alopecia periocular, verificando a frequência destas enfermidades na população em relação ao gênero, idade, raça, olho acometido, outras afecções oftálmicas concomitantes, possíveis etiologias e presença de doenças sistêmicas nestes cães. A partir da análise dos dados dos animais com as oftalmopatias referidas, pretendeu-se discutir a relação entre a ocorrência de alopecia periocular e diminuição da produção lacrimal, além de possíveis causas, alterações oculares presentes, enfermidades sistêmicas, raças acometidas, gênero e idade. O Teste Lacrimal de Schirmer foi o método utilizado para aferição da produção lacrimal. Foram encontrados 187 cães, dos quais 147 apresentaram ceratoconjuntivite seca e 71 blefarite. Em 31 cães as enfermidades apresentaram-se associadas. Ocorreram 41 casos de alopecia periocular sem diferença na frequência de acometimento em relação ao gênero dos pacientes. Quanto ao olho acometido, 95% dos casos mostram-se bilateral. As raças que tiveram maior prevalência foram Poodle, Lhasa Apso, Cocker Spaniel Inglês e cães sem raça definida. As idades mais frequentes foram dois anos, com 19% dos animais, quatro e 12 anos com 12%. Dos 32 animais com alopecia periocular que apresentaram doenças sistêmicas, 22 tinham dermatopatias. Concluiu-se que a ceratoconjuntivite seca e a blefarite não aparecem associadas com tanta frequência e que a ocorrência de alopecia periocular se dá na maior parte, em casos de blefarite, embora possa, com menor frequência, apresentar-se na CCS. Apesar da produção de lágrima exibir-se diminuída em alguns pacientes com alopecia periocular, não se pode dizer que sempre esteja presente nestes casos.UEL2014-09-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa Empírica de Campoapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semagrarias/article/view/1544410.5433/1679-0359.2014v35n4Suplp2443Semina: Ciências Agrárias; Vol. 35 No. 4Supl (2014); 2443-2452Semina: Ciências Agrárias; v. 35 n. 4Supl (2014); 2443-24521679-03591676-546Xreponame:Semina.
