ABSTRACT
A 17-year-old, female cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus) was presented for a 1-week history of respiratory distress. The clinical signs were consistent with tracheal obstruction; therefore, an air sac cannula was placed to reduce respiratory compromise. Radiographic images of the patient revealed a round, intraluminal, soft tissue opacity in the trachea. The obstruction could be visualized via transtracheal illumination, but tracheoscopy was not feasible because of the size of the patient. Attempts to manually extirpate the obstruction were unsuccessful, and the trachea subsequently avulsed in the midcervical region. Tracheal resection and anastomosis was performed, and the obstruction was removed with the associated tracheal ring. The patient recovered uneventfully and was doing well at follow-up evaluations at 9 days, 24 days, and 10 months after the surgical procedure. The histologic diagnosis was ossifying myelolipoma arising from bone marrow within the tracheal ring.
