Abstract


A very rare case of perineal hernia has been recorded in a graded Murrah buffalo heifer calf. Chronic diarrhoea and tenesmus were thought to weaken the pelvic diaphragm and subsequent trauma lead to herniation of pelvic viscera like urinary bladder and a loop of large intestine. The herniation was bilateral appearing on either side of the anus. Herniorrhaphy was carried out under local analgesia and no recurrence was noticed thereafter.
