Effective management of rare dystocia due to diprosopus monster with cleft palate in a jersey crossbred cow under field condition

A six years old jersey crossbred full-term pregnant cow was presented with a history of prolonged straining and dystocia. Vaginal examination revealed diprosopus monster calf with bilateral shoulder flexion. The monster calf was delivered per vaginum successfully by traction and the dam recovered uneventfully. The diprosopus fetal monster, characterized by a single neck, trunk, and normal limbs with craniofacial duplication and cleft in the palate was described in the current study.
