“…The susceptibility to an injurious environmental or to genetic agents varies with the stage of development and between species, and the susceptibility decreases with the advancement of foetal age. The signalment and clinical signs of the SEL and polydactyly in our cases are in full agreement with previous reports of similar cases in cattle (Hiraga et al, 1989;Fourie, 1990;Kim et al, 2001;Bahr et al, 2003;Rahman et al, 2006). The first morphological evidence of a limb during embryonic development is the emergence of a bulge at the appropriate level in the lateral body wall.…”

“…Congenital anomalies with accessory limbs and digits occur very rarely in cattle and there are few, if any, reports on such incidences in Korea. The animals with supernumerary ectopic limbs and supernumerary digits can survive successfully with normal locomotion and better aesthesis if the surgical excision is performed under proper aseptic conditions and appropriate postoperative care is taken (Hossain et al, 1980;Singh et al, 1989;Fourie, 1990;Rahman et al, 2006). The cases reported here describe the successful surgical excision of supernumerary limbs in four Korean indigenous calves.…”

“…Polymelia in symmetrical twins of cattle displays the presence of six or eight legs according to the degree of their attachment (Hossain et al, 1980;Singh et al, 1989;Kim et al, 2001). In heterotopic polymelia there are one or two supernumerary legs attached to the various body regions and are classified as notomelia, cephalomelia, thoracomelia and pygomelia (Leipold et al, 1983;Rahman et al, 2006).…”

Four head of Korean indigenous cattle were presented to the Chonbuk Animal Medical Centre, Chonbuk National University, with the complaint of the presence of extra limb(s) since birth. The accessory limb(s) were underdeveloped in all the cases and attached to the lateral side of the withers craniodorsal to the right scapula in Case 1 and 2; in Case 3, right dorsally to the 4 th cervical vertebra and in Case 4 it was ventrolateral to the thorax caudally to the right forelimb. In all the cases, the congenital anomaly was diagnosed as the presence of supernumerary ectopic limb(s) (SEL), which were removed by surgical excisions under general anaesthesia. In all the cases, the surgical corrections resulted in normal locomotion and better quality of life. No postoperative complications were observed during a 1-year follow up period. The SEL can be successfully removed by surgical excisions, which can result in normal locomotion and better aesthesis of the animal.

ABSTRACT:The following case report describes the diagnosis and surgery of bilateral polydactyly of unknown origin in a dromedary camel. A two-year-old, 290 kg, intact female camel was admitted for surgical removal of bilateral supernumerary digits associated with the medial aspects of the metacarpi and proximal to the fetlock joints. Radiographic examination revealed bilateral polydactyly with complete fusion of metacarpal bones. Surgery consisted of an osteotomy of surplus metacarpal bones combined with amputation of the supernumerary digits. The follow-up at 12 months after surgery revealed a sound camel with an excellent cosmetic outcome.

“…Genel durumun kötü olması, eklenti bacakların alınması ile birlikte başta medulla spinalis olmak üzere diğer hayati önem taşıyan organlara zarar verecek olması, onarılamayacak büyüklükte defektlerin (hernia ventralis, hernia umblikalis, kolon agenezisi gibi) polimeli ile birlikte bulunması gibi durumlarda cerrahi sağaltım yerine hayvanın kesime gönderilmesi gerekir, bunun dışında kalan durumlarda ve erken yapılan cerrahi girişimler başarılı olur (2,8).…”

Özet: Bu çalışmada iki farklı polimeli olgusunun klinik, radyografik ve operatif bulgularının sunulması amaçlandı. Çalışma materyalini, farklı zamanlarda getirilen ve her ikisi de 15 günlük olan biri dişi, diğeri erkek erkek Simental ırkı buzağılar oluşturdu. Dişi buzağıda eklenti bacağın interskapular bölgede olduğu, latero-lateral direkt radyografide C 7'nin dorsale doğru sublukse olduğu, polimetakarpi (5 adet) ve polidaktili (5 adet) belirlendi. Erkek buzağıdaki eklenti bacağın artikulasyo genusun medialinde şekillendiği, yapılan radyografik muayenede eklenti bacağın asetabulum ve femurun tam gelişmediği, bununla beraber tibianın hiç şekillenmediği saptandı. Yapılan klinik ve radyolojik muayene sonunda eklenti bacakların hayvanların yaşamsal ve fonksiyonel faaliyetlerini engellemediği saptandı. Her iki olguya da operatif girişim uygulanarak eklenti bacaklar uzaklaştırıldı. Yapılan postoperatif kontrollerde herhangi bir sorunla karşılaşılmadı. Sonuç olarak, buzağılarda karşılaşılan polimeli olgularında, hayvanların genel durumları stabil olduğu takdirde operatif girişimin tercih edilmesinin, hem hastanın kaliteli bir yaşam sürmesi hem de ekonomik açıdan faydalı olacağı kanısına varıldı.Anahtar sözcükler: Buzağı, cerrahi sağaltım, konjenital anomali, polimeli Polymelia in two calvesSummary: The aim of this study was to present clinical, radiological and surgical outcomes of two different polymelia cases in calves. The extralimb of the female calf was located at the interscapular region, subluxation of C7, polymetacarpy, polydactly was detected. The extra limb of the male one was located at the medial side of the stifle join, in the radiographic examination it was observed that the tibia was not formed and also acetabulum and femur was partially formed. The clinical and radiological examinations demonstrated that the extralimbs did not effect the vital and functional activity of the animals. In both cases, the extralimbs were removed surgically. No problem was seen in postoperative control. As a conclusion, surgical treatment can be preferred in calves with polymelia regarding to economical benefit and also better life quality.
