Atresia ani and dermoid cyst are an uncommon developmental anomaly usually congenital or hereditary in nature which can result from either defective genetics or from a genetic insult/agent that is associated with the fetal environment or from their interaction. Atresia ani is a congenital and emergency condition in which there is fail to open or absence of anal opening in the new born animals leading to stagnation of muconeum and faecal content. This condition compels to diagnose and plan for immediate surgical intervention to create anal opening. Surgery was done by administering epidural analgesia and the circular incisions were made. Reconstruction of anal opening was done by suturing it to peri-anal wall. Antibiotics were given post-operatively for 5 days and the sutures were removed on 10^th day. Calf showed normal faecal output and made an uneventful recovery. The main objective of this study was to report atresia ani with severe unilateral corneal dermoid in a cross bred calf and its therapeutic measurements.
