Misdiagnoses in live and dead huemul: a sick huemul apparently in healthy state; b initially reported without health problems, a subsequently necropsy showed severe lesions. Maxillary (left): recessed, porous and perforated bone on labial sides, necrotic alveoli and exposed roots such that M1, M2 and P4 fall out in the absence of soft tissue, the right maxillary molars protrude some 6 mm more than the left teeth row due to altered mandible. Mandible (right): reduced height and thickened body of the right body due to osteolysis with ventral border bent excessively during bone restructuring, absent alveoli, fractured M1 with pieces merely held by soft gum tissue, misaligned M2
