Research Abstract

A newly born kid, one day old was presented to the clinic with some congenital amomalies at the head region. The animal was unable to stand, blind and survived for two days after birth. The forehead bulges tremendously over a foreshortened face with absence of the nose. Palpation of the swelling revealed equal fluctuation. A single palpebral fissure with double fused eyeballs are observed. The upper jaw is short and the lower jaw is long and curved upward. The tongue is protruded to one side and movable.
The condition was diagnosed as a complex of some congenital anomalies at the head region including hydrocephalus, cyclopia and prognathism.
