Dystocia due to faulty disposition caused by a monocephalus diprosopus monauchenos monster fetus in a buffalo

A 5 years old buffalo in her second lactation was presented with the history of complete gestation at village Bajuri situated in district Hamirpur of Himachal Pradesh, India. Per vaginal examination showed fetus in posterior longitudinal presentation with dorso-sacral position and bilateral hip flexion. Per vaginal traction of fetus was tried by mutations and was removed manually. Fetus was congenitally defected with the presence of two heads. It was a rare case of ‘monocephalus diprosopus monauchenos’ with two pairs of nostrils, four eyes (tetraophthalmus), two mouths, each with a tongue and two ears. The two faces were fused caudally by a single parietal bone. Both faces were joined ventrally by the medial rhami of the mandible.
