The head of a lama (Cuzco, Peru) was studied by CT‐scan and NMR. the head had been taken from a recently died lama. It was 30cm long and weighed 3,24kg. The entire head without any preparation was CT‐scanned and studied by NMR (CEREMA, avenida Javier Prado in Lima) with cross‐sections from the front to the back (vertical plane) every 5 mm with 5mm cross‐section slices and then reconstructed in the two other planes (sagittal and horizontal). The systematical analysis of the views permitted the description of the muscular, osseous and encephalic relationships between them and also their isolated aspect in serial anatomy. The lama is an auchenidae which lives exclusively in south America.
