Hydrops allantois was diagnosed in two Haflinger mares with severe abdominal distension. Both mares were seven months pregnant. Abortion was induced with two injections of prostaglandin six hours apart followed by further manual dilation of the cervix and administration of oxytocin the next day. There were 90 and 95 litres of fluid, respectively, in the allantoic cavities which resembled extracellular fluid with regard to concentrations of urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphate and chloride, but not total protein. Both fetuses had severe brain abnormalities which were diagnosed as cerebellar and cerebral hypoplasia associated with bilateral hydrocephalus internus and hydranencephaly and cerebellar aplasia, respectively. Both mares were pregnant by the same stallion, but a clear hereditary link was not found.
在两匹患有严重腹胀的哈福林格母马中诊断出尿囊积水。两匹母马均怀孕七个月。相隔六小时注射两次前列腺素诱导流产，随后第二天进一步手动扩张子宫颈并给予催产素。尿囊腔中分别有90升和95升液体，就尿素、肌酐、钠、钾、钙、镁、磷酸盐和氯化物的浓度而言，这些液体类似于细胞外液，但总蛋白含量不同。两具胎儿均有严重的脑部异常，分别被诊断为小脑和大脑发育不全，伴有双侧脑室内脑积水和积水性无脑畸形以及小脑发育不全。两匹母马均由同一匹种马配种，但未发现明显的遗传联系。
