de México, y en el Hospital de Especies Menores y Silvestres de la Escuela de Medicina
Veterinaria (HEMS) de la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica, durante un lapso de seis
semanas.
Durante la pasantía, se colaboró en los departamentos de medicina interna, cirugía de
tejidos blandos, ultrasonografía, radiología y cuidados intensivos en ambos lugares. Además
se participó brevemente en el área de tomografía computarizada en el CVM. En total se
realizaron 339 horas de trabajo entre ambos cetros médicos, en las que el pasante fue partícipe
de la atención de 119 casos en el CVM y 202 casos en el HEMS, para un total de 321 casos,
siendo la especie canina la predominante (258/321, 81%) en comparación con los felinos
(50/321, 15%) y otras especies no convencionales (12/321, 4%) durante la consulta. De todos
los casos, 301 tuvo algún manejo de medicina interna, 27 se atendieron en la unidad de
emergencias, 316 utililzaron el servicio de imágenes médicas y 76 del total de pacientes se
sometieron a algún procedimiento quirúrgico.
Se profundiza en un caso clínico de gran relevancia, se trata de un felino con
Síndrome de Chiari o COMS, en el cual se ofrece una discusión más detallada de la
enfermedad, su patofisiología, criterios diagnósticos, y abordaje terapéutico, entre otros
aspectos.
