ABSTRACT: Multiple congenital malformations can occur concomitantly in several species since the anomaly one organ may lead directly to malformation of another. Additionally, etiology is not always clarified. Choristoma refers an ectopic tissue that histologically normal abnormal location. A case pulmonary and nodal choristoma associated with cranioschisis, hydrocephalus, syringomyelia a new-bo...

Background: Occurrence of congenital anomalies are less common in small ruminants, especially goats compared to sheep. Most cause for the deformities new born ruminants is due ingestion toxic plants during gestation. Congenital meningoencephalocoele with associated craniofacial a rare occurrence goats. Materials: A day old crossbred kid was presented cranial defects and protrusion brain through...

Encephalocystocele is a developmental malformation characterized by brain herniation accompanied with extracranial cystic protrusion of the ventricular system. This nosological unit is often overlooked and insufficiently classified merely as encephalocele. Herein, two exceptionally clear cases of the parieto-occipital cranioschisis with encephalocystocele and congenital hydrocephalus of the lat...

Abstract Most genetic diseases affect purebred animals and are inherited as recessive genes. Cranioschisis refers to dysraphism, which occurs in the midline of skull due failure close cranial symphysis, can lead herniation meninges filled with cerebrospinal fluid (meningocele), where there is usually a projection meningeal tissue. Diagnosis performed based on clinical examination, characteristi...

Three fundamental types of cephalic axial skeletal-neural dysrapic disorders are analyzed, including: cranioschisis aperta with encephaloschisis (anencephaly and/or exencephaly), cranioschisis occulta with occipital encephalocele, and the Chiari malformation (occipital bone hypoplasia) with compression, deformation and displacement of hindbrain, cerebellum, and medulla. Both clinical and experi...

conclusions in the determination via 3d cranial tomography the presence of the parietal bones is important because, in case of agenesis the tension band does not benefit and on the contrary it creates extra stress on cerebral tissue. case report we presented a case with metopic and sagitta suture cranioschisis mimicking bilateral parietal bone agenesis (university of izmir of medicine, turkey, ...

The mouse mutant disorganisation (Ds) is a semidominant gene with variable penetrance in heterozygotes and lethality in homozygotes; 67% of heterozygotes have multiple defects and the rest have single defects. Fifty-three percent have cranioschisis and execephaly, 40% have hamartomas represented by papillae of variable size and shape protruding from the body, sometimes containing cartilage, and...

The hypothesis of an intrinsic defect of germ plasma put forward by Streeter to explain the abnormalities observed in 'amniotic bands sequence' (ABS) was not supported by Torpin, who suggested that the bands derived from early amnion rupture, with formation of mesodermal strings and naked chorion, which then constricted or adhered to fetal parts. Recently, several authors have recorded and disc...

The notochordal-basichondrocranium relationships have been investigated in cranioschisis occulta with encephalocoele (CSO-EN) and in cranioschisis aperta with exencephaly (CSA-EX) which represent, respectively, a minimal and a severe form of experimentally induced axial skeletal (dysraphic) disorders. Although apparently different, these two malformations are considered to represent different d...

The captive greater one-horned rhinoceros population consists of 176 animals. Since 1971, a total of 226 calves were born into this captive population. However, 24% of the offspring born were either stillborn or did not survive the first 3 months. The causes for this high rate of stillbirth and neonate mortality have not yet been documented. Here, we report on the veterinary management of a dys...
