Several eyes developed corneal edema and exposure keratitis from lagophthalmos. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) showed a globoid cornea and enlarged anterior chamber with or without anterior displacement of the lens. Micro\u2010CT analysis revealed normal skull conformation with bilateral enlargement of the anterior segments. An initial diagnosis of presumptive congenital glaucoma with buphthalmos was made. All conures had a chemical cycloablation procedure performed in the left eye to decrease ocular size. One conure had an enucleation of its right eye (OD) due to severe corneal ulceration. Two conures were humanely euthanized due to systemic health concerns shortly after initial presentation, and one died suddenly of a suspected cardiac event 8\u2009years later. Ocular histopathology was performed on all 6 eyes of 3 conures, confirming a diagnosis of megalocornea with secondary ulcerative keratitis, stromal attenuation, and marked fibrosis with a discontinuous Descemet's membrane.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case series represents the first documented report of congenital megalocornea in blue\u2010throated conures, which should be considered as a differential in birds with presumed buphthalmos from glaucoma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/vop.70166","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,11]],"date-time":"2026-03-11T03:05:14Z","timestamp":1773198314000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Clinicopathologic Findings of Congenital Megalocornea in Three Blue\u2010Throated Conures (\n                    <scp>\n                      <i>Pyrrhura cruentata<\/i>\n                    <\/scp>\n                    )"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Noah M.","family":"Plotsker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine Cornell University  Ithaca New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrea M.","family":"Winkel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, Shreiber School of Veterinary Medicine Rowan University  Harrison Township New Jersey USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sharman M.","family":"Hoppes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine Texas A&amp;M University  College Station Texas USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gillian C.","family":"Shaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathological Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine University of Wisconsin\u2010Madison  Madison Wisconsin USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9702-7298","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Erin M.","family":"Scott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine Cornell University  Ithaca New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","unstructured":"IUCN \u201cPyrrhura cruentata: BirdLife International: The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2016: e.T22685783A93087500 \u201dPublished online October 1 2016 https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2305\/IUCN.UK.2016\u20103.RLTS.T22685783A93087500.en."},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","unstructured":"Pyrrhura cruentata | CITES accessed March 25 2024 https:\/\/cites.org\/eng\/taxonomy\/term\/3228."},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","unstructured":"Criminal Lacey Act Offenses: An Overview of Selected Issues accessed November 9 2025 https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/crs\u2010product\/R48669."},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ceo.13958"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-030-71302-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3382\/ps.0631537"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcpa.2004.01.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/03079459808419333"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vop.12413"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/hmg\/ddv063"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","first-page":"246","volume-title":"Avian Medicine","author":"Samour J.","year":"2016"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","volume-title":"Avian Anatomy: Textbook and Colour Atlas","author":"K\u00f6nig H.
