“…This fatal congenital anomaly is characterized by defect fusion that result in abdominal and sometimes thoracic viscera exposure (schistosomus), ventral curvature of the spine and curved chest walls as lateral (reflexus) (22). This malformation has also been reported lambs (25), camels (6), dogs (20), cat (19), goat (24) and foal (10). This anomaly may be associated with other congenital defects.…”

Schistosomus reflexus (SR) is a rare monstrosity. This fatal congenital anomaly is characterized by defect fusion that result in abdominal and sometimes thoracic viscera exposure (schistosomus), ventral curvature of the spine and curved chest walls as lateral (reflexus). The present study describes schistosomus (Fissura abdominalis) without reflexus in a Turkoman foal. The foal exhibited rupture of abdominal wall and the internal organs were exposed and outside the body. Arthrogryposis and atresia ani were other anomalies associated with SR. To the authors' knowledge, it seems the first report of SR with atresia ani and arthrogryposis in a foal.

“…10,12,22 SRS has been frequently reported in cattle 22,27 but occasionally in sheep 14 and goats. 2,18,38 Sporadic cases have been reported in other domestic mammals, 6,16,24,29,31 as well as in nondomestic animals. 20,26 Most of these studies are case reports describing anatomical findings, and only a few mention the prevalence of SRS; the highest prevalence is believed to occur in cattle, 33 ranging from 0.01% 37 to 1.3%.…”

Schistosomus Reflexus Syndrome in Olive Ridley Sea Turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea)

et al. 2016

The olive ridley sea turtle ( Lepidochelys olivacea), considered the most abundant sea turtle species, is listed as vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List. The most important nesting areas are located in the Eastern Pacific, and congenital malformations have been previously reported in this species. The present study was conducted in a single population at El Verde beach, one of the most important nesting beaches for the species in the northwestern Mexican Pacific. The study was based on embryos that had been incubated in a controlled environment. Schistosomus reflexus syndrome (SRS) was observed in 124 of 20 257 olive ridley embryos (0.6%), comprising 124 of 400 (31%) cases of congenital malformations over a 7-month period. Affected embryos had malformations of the carapace, bridge, or plastron, resulting in exposure of the abdominal or thoracic viscera, as well as spinal malformation and abnormal positioning of limbs adjacent to the head with subsequent ankylosis. SRS phenotypes (although lethal) varied from mild to severe, although most cases were severe. SRS was mostly associated with congenital malformations in the neck (short neck, 80%), tail (anury, 38%), and flippers (different types of dysmelias, 53%). In most cases of severe SRS, ankyloses were present. Documenting these findings could be important to identify the cause of the developmental defects, and identification of the cause of the defects may be of significance to the population and to our efforts to manage this and other populations at risk.

“…The head, eyes, nose, fore and hind limbs were fully developed (Figure 2). Schistosomus reflexus monster is primarily observed in ruminants(Suthar et al, 2011). Its defining features include spinal inversion, exposure of the abdominal viscera because of a fissure of the ventral abdominal wall, limb ankylosis, positioning of the limbs adjacent to the skull and, lung and diaphragm…”
