Abstract

A non-descript doe was diagnosed for fetal maceration. Incompletely dilated cervix hindered manual removal of fetal bones per vaginum. Hence C-section was performed. Since fetal bones were severely embedded to the endometrium, the uterine horn embedded with the fetal bones was amputated. The doe recovered uneventfully after follow-up treatment.
