Cranial Arterial Perfusion of the Tympanic Bullae Region in Llamas (Lama glama): Anatomic Features and Anomalies. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The tympanic bulla of South American camelids is a unique multi‐compartmental structure with an internal architecture resembling that of honeycomb. This unique configuration creates surgical challenges for the treatment of refractory otitis media cases in llamas (Lama glama).
