RESUMO
The aim of the study was to establish the pattern of the agouti pelvis by obtaining external and radiographic internal pelvimetric values. Forty-three agouti (Dasyprocta prymnolopha), females and males bred in captivity were used. The parameters measured were the external biiliac diameter; the external biischiatic diameter; right and left external ilioischiatic diameters and radiographic internal measurements (true conjugated, the diagonal conjugated; the vertical, the sacral, sagittal, coxal tuberosity, uper biiliac, lower biiliac, and biischiatic diameter. The inlet pelvic area and the outlet pelvic area were calculated, as well the height/width ratios of the entrance area of the pelvis and the pelvic outlet area were calculated. The mean values for each body measurement of females and males were: weight 1.91kg and 2.04kg, external biiliac diameter 6.32cm and 6.30cm, external biischiatic diameter 4.34cm and 4.28cm, right external ilioischiatic diameter 9.01cm and 9.33cm, left external ilioischiatic diameter 9.13cm and 9.30cm, true conjugated 3.90cm and 3.68cm, diagonal conjugated 7.13cm and 6.91cm, vertical diameter 2.59cm and 2.45cm, sacral diameter 2.63cm and 2.44cm, sagittal diameter 3.30cm and 3.09cm, coxal tuberosity diameter 2.52cm and 2.43cm, upper biiliac diameter 6.28cm and 6.24cm, lower biiliac diameter 2.98cm and 2.58cm, biischiatic diameter 2.60cm and 2.70cm, heig

RESUMO
This paper aims to describe the macroscopic aspects of disease and radiological findings related to spina bifida in a newborn cat. A female cat was seen in labor at a veterinary clinic in Teresina-PI. By performing the ultrasound test it was possible detect the presence of three fetuses aged approximately 62 days and decreased heart rate. The patient underwent surgery immediately to cesarean section with ovariohysterectomy. One of the newborn cat showed changes consistent with spina bifida. The owner opted for the newborn cat euthanasia because is not known effective treatment for the case. There are insufficient researchs on the embryonic development aimed at prevention and treatment of these anomalies. These studies are necessary to ensure a good prognosis for patients.
Este trabalho tem como objetivo descrever os aspectos macroscópicos da doença e os achados radiológicos relacionados à espinha bífida em um neonato felino. Uma fêmea felina foi atendida em trabalho de parto numa clínica veterinária em Teresina-PI. Ao realizar o exame ultrassonográfico foi possível detectar a presença de três fetos com idade aproximada de 62 dias e com batimentos cardíacos diminuídos. A paciente foi submetida imediatamente à cirurgia cesariana com ovariossalpingohisterectomia. Um dos neonatos apresentava alterações compatíveis com espinha bífida. A proprietária optou pela eutanásia do neonato por não se conhecer um tratamento eficaz para o caso. Ainda são escassas as pesquisas sobre o desenvolvimento embrionário voltadas para prevenção e tratamento dessas anomalias. Estas pesquisas são necessárias a fim de garantir um bom prognóstico aos pacientes portadores.
