A rare case of successful delivery of a Hydrocephalic Foal was recorded. Hydrocephalus, caused by an accumulation of excess fluid in the cranial or skull cavity, is a rare congenital abnormality of great clinical and obstetrical importance and been previously recognized in Arabian foals. (Andrews, 1Q98. Srnirh. 2002 Gilman, 1956). It may be caused by genetic, nutrional and environmental factors including infective etiology (Kalman, 1989).
