 -: Postmortem Examination: Miscellaneous Cases :-

The Cases Discussed Under this Page includes……..

1. Triple Cervix (Corpus Simplex Cervix Triplex) condition in Buffalo Heifer.

2. Fowl Typhoid in Young Giriraj Chicks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 1) Triple Cervix (Corpus Simplex Cervix Triplex) condition in Buffalo Heifer.

A) Case History

Buffalo heifer, Age: Approximately 4.5-5 Years, Sent to abattoir for slaughter most probably due to infertility complaint.

B) Gross Postmortem Findings

  
Fig.1: Gross Anatomy: Note the well developed ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterine horns and body along with presence of three cervical canals (3 external OS) & single vaginal outlet. (Three cervical canals with single uterine body & vaginal outlet).
Fig.2: Gross Anatomy: Note the well developed ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterine horns and body along with presence of three cervical canals (3 external OS) & single vaginal outlet. (Three cervical canals with single uterine body & vaginal outlet).
  
Fig.3: Enlarged View. Note the presence of three cervical canals (3 external OS) with single vaginal outlet.
Fig.4: Cut portion of Vaginal Outlet. Note the presence single vaginal outlet without any partition.
  
Fig.5: Gross Anatomy: Note the well developed ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterine horns and body along with presence of three cervical canals/openings (3 external OS).
Fig.6: Enlarged View. Note the presence of three cervical canals/openings (3 external OS).

B) Gross Postmortem Findings

Grossly, all parts of female genitalia were well developed including both ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterine horns, uterine body, cervix and vagina. Only cervix showed abnormality with 3 external openings (external OS). Dissection of female genitalia revealed, the uterine body was connected to the vagina by three separate cervical canals which open into a single vaginal outlet. The uterine body was single and not found having any abnormality or extra partition. The tubular lumen of vaginal outlet was also single without any partition. The uterine horns and fallopian tubes were normal or not showed any evidence of partition/gross abnormality. So, according to medical terminology this anomaly can be termed as “Corpus Simplex Cervix Triplex” condition.

2) Fowl Typhoid (Salmonella gallinarun) in Young Giriraj Chicks.

A) Case History

11 day old Giri Raj breed chicks with history of high mortality.

B) Gross Postmortem Findings

  
Fig.1: Note bronze yellow/green discoloration and enlargement of Liver (Hepatomegaly).
Fig.2: Two chicks died from same flock showing hepatomegaly. Compare extent of lesions. Left one showing advanced stage of disease while right one showing somewhat earlier stage/more acute stage with slight bronze yellow discoloration, mottling, more enlargement and multiple milliary necroses.
  
Fig.3: Note the hepatomegaly, mottling and multiple milliary necroses on liver.Fig.4: Another chick showing lesions of earlier stage (hepatomegaly, mottling and multiple milliary necroses on liver).

Note: Postmortem diagnosis is confirmed by isolation of causative agent. After administration of Bifuran Tablet (Nitrofurazone + Furazolidone) the outbreak successfully controlled. Although Fowl Typhoid is frequently referred as a disease of adult birds, there have been reports of high mortality in young chicks. Fowl Typhoid can cause mortality as high as 26% in chicks during the first month of life.
