Authors(3) :-Jayakrushna Das, Biswadeep Jena, Snehasis Pradhan

A 10 years old male Sambar deer (Cervus unicolor) of Nandankanan Zoo was presented with traumatically ruptured and maggot infested right eyeball in conjunction with clinical signs like severe ptosis, epiphora, orbital inflammation, periorbital swelling, marked pain upon retropulsion, abnormal ipsilateral nasal odour and discharge. In order to correct the thwarted condition, extirpation of eye ball and tarsorrhaphy was performed. Obligation of proper surgical techniques and maintenance of adequate postoperative measures rewarded with prevention of infection into the brain.
