DYSTOCIA DUE TO HYDROCEPHALUS FOETUS WITH EXTENSIVE MULTIPLE PHYSICAL DEFORMITY IN A CROSSBRED COW

摘要

A case of dystocia due to hydrocephalus foetus with extensive multiple physical deformity in a crossbred cow was reported.Hydrocephalus is the dropsy of the brain with recognizable swelling of cranium due to excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid either in ventricular system or in between parenchyma of brain and meninges (Dar et at., 2012). It has been a frequently reported deformity of the cranial bones, especially frontal, temporal and parietal. Most commonly affected species are swine, canines and bovines. Present communication deals with the per-vaginal delivery of a multiple anomalous crossbred in a Jersey calf.
