Anal atresia, congenital urethrorectal fistula, accessory scrotum and pseudohermafroditism in a crossbred calf

Abstract

In this study, the case of a newborn calf, which presented type 2 anal atresia, congenital urethrorectal fistula, bifid scrotum and male pseudohermafroditism is described. The main clinical sign was the elimination of feces by the prepucial ostium, an unusual finding in cases of urethrorectal fistula in male animals. Although anal atresia is relatively common in bovines, the other congenital defects found in this case are uncommon.
