Abstract

A rare form of cyclopia and arhinia was described in a kid born to a one and half year old primiparous Malabari eutocic doe. The most significant craniofacial malformation was the presence of a single median orbit that contained a single, large exophthalmic eyeball lacking vision. The congenital changes were confined to the head of the kid. The kid showed multiple birth defects like eyelid agenesis, arhinia and prognathism. The possible cause of this congenital defect could not be ascertained.
