Though mainly a subclinical disease, when the nasal cavity is affected, epistaxis, mucopurulent nasal discharge, dyspnea, and facial distortion may occur. This report describes a case of cryptococcosis in a koala where unilateral exophthalmos was the only evident clinical sign and magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography findings are described. Both advanced imaging techniques should be considered as standard and complementary techniques for nasal cavity evaluation in koalas.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationaljournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1638/2016-0089.128363053bioone.org/journals/journal-of-zoo-and-wildlife-medicine/volume-48/issue-1/2016-0089.1/ATYPICAL-PRESENTATION-OF-CRYPTOCOCCUS-NEOFORMANS-IN-A-KOALA-PHASCOLARCTOS-CINEREUS/10.1638/2016-0089.1.shortmetadata only access61Computed tomographyCryptococcus spp.ExophthalmosKoalaMagnetic resonance imagingPhascolarctos cinereusCiencias Biomédicas32 Ciencias Médicas
