Özet

Monstroglia olarak geçen disefalus olgusu; iki başın tek gövdede bulunduğu kongenital bir bozukluktur. Bu olguda dört yaşında doğumun üçüncü aşamasında olan Simental ırkı bir inek son 2 gündür şiddetli kasılmaları olmasına rağmen doğumun gerçekleşmemesi şikayetiyle Atatürk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Hayvan Hastanesine getirildi. Ölü dicephalus fetus sezaryen operasyonu ile başarılı bir şekilde uterustan çıkarıldı. İnek operasyon sonrası herhangi bir komplikasyon olmaksızın iyileşti.
