Surgical correction of eyelid disfigurement in a stumptailed monkey (Macaca arctoides).
Self-aggression in an adult male stumptailed monkey (Macaca arctoides) resulted in severe lower eyelid distortion, conjunctivitis and epiphora. The behavior ceased with a change in environment, but the eyelid defect, conjunctivitis and epiphora persisted, requiring corrective surgery. Surgical correction was partially successful, although the animal died due to unrelated medical problems before final correction could be accomplished.
