Navgeet Singh, SS Dhindsa, Randhir Singh and Navjot Singh

Schistosomus reflexus, Amelia and Contracture of limbs are categorized as fetal monstrosities that are reported in bovine. These monstrosities occur separately in different cases and seldom occur in combination. Most of the times, monstrosities occur in a combination of two defects, but the occurrence of three defects together at the same time is an extremely rare event. The current case report presents similar findings, where a crossbred cattle was presented with dystocia at full term. The intestinal viscera was protruding out through vulva and the animal was continuously straining with unsuccessful delivery attempts. Per vaginal examination suggested fetus lying in transverse presentation having dorsiflexion of spinal cord with abdominal viscera coming out. Fetotomy was performed which led to delivery of Schistosomus reflexus fetal monster accompanied by left brachium Amelia and contracture of remaining limbs.
