During the 1974/75 lambing season numerous reports were received from various parts of the Republic of South Africa and South West Africa of severe abdominal distension in ewes after vaccination with the attenuated Rift Valley fever and/or attenuated Wesselsbron disease vaccine. The ewes were
A 28-week male fetus with the cardinal signs of the lethal multiple pterygium syndrome (multiple pterygia, congenital joint contractures, lung hypoplasia, facial abnormalities, and hydrops) is reported here. In addition, he had hydranencephaly, an anomaly not yet reported in this group of
Hydrops allantois was diagnosed in two Haflinger mares with severe abdominal distension. Both mares were seven months pregnant. Abortion was induced with two injections of prostaglandin six hours apart followed by further manual dilation of the cervix and administration of oxytocin the next day.
Although rare, a number of fetal anomalies can be detected with ultrasound in which the prognosis is either fetal death or minimal development. Anomalies of this type include anencephaly, holoprosencephaly, hydranencephaly, iniencephaly, cystic hygroma with hydrops, cystadenomatoid malformation of
BACKGROUND
Fowler syndrome is characterized by hydranencephaly, brain stem and basal ganglion calcifications, a glomeruloid vasculopathy of the brain vessels, and a fetal akinesia deformation sequence with muscular hypoplasia. The natural progression of the ultrasonographic features of Fowler

METHODS
A prospective observational cohort study of 2,708 unselected pregnant women attending an abdominal ultrasound examination at
Hydrops fetalis, with or without oligo- or polyhydramnios, is associated with very high fetal mortality. In many cases the causes are unknown. Chronically cannulated ovine fetuses have been used as animal models to study the regulation of fetal fluid balance. This study reports that the
BACKGROUND
The present study describes the pathologic changes in the brain and the spinal cord of aborted, stillbirth and deformities of newborn lambs infected with viral agents.
METHODS
From February 2012 to March 2013, a total of 650 aborted fetuses from 793 pregnant ewes were studied from 8
