Surgical Management of Cranial Meningocoele in a Calf
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cranial meningocoele is a congenital defect in which the fluid-filled meninges alone protrude through a defect in the cranium (Leipold and Davis, 1993) and may be caused by genetic or environmental factors or a combination of both. Surgical correction of this defect in five calves has so far been reported in veterinary literature (Kohli and Naddaf, 1998). A similar condition was reported in a buffalo calf, without surgical attempt (Ayyappan et al., 1996). The present case reported the successful surgical correction of cranial meningocoele in a calf.
