Diagnosis and Treatment of a Case of Polyneuritis in Juvenile Golden Snub-nosed Monkey
An seven-month-old female Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey(Rhinopithe-cus roxellana)at a zoo in Nanjing suddenly presented clinical symptoms such as asymmet-ric motor dysfunction,difficulty in climbing,atrophy and weakness of limb muscles,and no pain response in toes.The case was diagnosed as polyneuritis by means of electron computed tomography(ECT),nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR),viral testing and trace element testing,combined with the clinical manifestations of the affected animal.Through more than five months of combined treatment with methylcobalamin and nerve growth factor as well as massage therapy methods,clinical observations revealed that the animal's hindlimb muscle group strength was restored and was able to crawl on its own.The results suggest that a synergistic treatment regimen of methylcobalamin combined with nerve growth factor therapy and massage methods is effective in polyneuritis in Sich-uan golden snub-nosed monkeys.
