Abstract

Peromelia is a severe congenital malformation of the limbs, including absence of the lower part of the extremity. It is one of the rarely observed malformations in animals. Monobrachial peromelia was observed in a male, 2 years old Holstein cow in the right forelimb. The cow examined gross pathologically before and after slaughter. It was clinically healthy and in good body condition. The proximal limb from the shoulder up to the radius and ulna was developed. Normal scapulae, hypoplasic humerus and rudiments of the proximal segments of the radius and ulna were present. Normal skin was covered the bones. The cow has only one forelimb and a marked angulation was observed at the left front limb. There was no other abnormality diagnosed. In this study, monobrachial peromelia was reported by anatomo-pathological method in a two years old cow. This is the first monobrachial peromelia cow report in Turkey

Abstract

Peromelia, ekstremitenin alt kısmının olmaması ile karakterize şiddetli bir konjenital anomalidir. Bu anomali hayvanlarda nadir görülür. İki yaşlı, Holstein danada sağ ön bacakta monobrachial peromelia olgusu gözlendi. Dana, kesimden önce ve sonra makropatolojik olarak incelendi. Hayvan klinik olarak sağlıklıydı ve vücut kondüsyonu iyiydi. Omuzdan radius ve ulna’ya kadar proksimal ekstremite şekillenmişti. Normal skapula, hipoplazik humerus ile radius ve ulnanın proksimal bölümleri vardı. Kemiklerin üzeri normal deri ile kaplıydı. Dananın sadece tek bir ön bacağı vardı ve sol ön bacakta belirgin bir eğilme gözlendi. Bunun dışında hiçbir anormallik saptanmadı. Bu çalışmada iki yaşında bir danada monobrachial peromelia olgusu anatomo-patolojik olarak bildirilmiştir. Bu, Türkiye'deki bir danada saptanan ilk monobrachial peromelia raporudur
