| Abstract |
|
Meningocele is a rare defect, which is the displacement of the
structures of the brain or/and meninges through a congenital cavity in
the cranium. A cranium bifidum with meningocele at the mid-parietal
region was diagnosed in a three days old male lamb. General examination
of lamb revealed fluctuated mass (6×8 cm) in the occipital region.
Radiographic survey and ultrasonographic examination were carried out to
confirm meningeal in the lamb.
