Abstract
Hydrops of the fetal membranes (HFM) and fetal mummification are considered as pathological disorders
of pregnant sheep. Arthrogryposis multiplex congentia was reported as a very rare congenital syndrome in newly born/
stillbirth lambs or fetuses. A three-years- and sixth-months-old full-term pregnant Rahmani ewe was presented to
Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, South Valley University, Egypt. The ewe clinically
showed HFM and vaginal prolapse, successful delivery revealed 6 dead fetuses; 3 mummified, and 3 full-term malformed
fetuses that were characterized by: (1) dysgnathia (brachygnathy inferior), (2) kyphoscoliosis, (3) arthrogryposis, (4)
congenital deformities of cervical spine, and (5) abnormalities of the thoracic cage. All these malformations were
confirmed by radiographic imaging. The expansion in the use of artificial insemination is strongly required in sheep
production in order to minimize the inbreeding-resulted inherited origin diseases such as this case study
