Abstract
Abstract
Case Description- A three-day-old male Kordi lamb had a soft painless fluctuating mass on the mid-parietal region, with no clinical signs except difficulty in standing; was referred to the clinic. Clinical Findings- Clinical examination revealed a normal body temperature, a heart rate, a respiratory rate, and inability to stand without any congenital defects Three-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT) of the skull following radiology and ultrasonography revealed an elliptical defect in the left side of the median parietal line of the skull. Treatment and Outcome- Unfortunately, before surgery the lamb died. Postmortem findings of meningocele exactly confirmed what was shown with 3DCT technique. Clinical Relevance- The present clinical case of meningocele is the first report of cranium bifidum at the left parietal bone in a lamb, using this diagnostic imaging technique.
