Two anasarcous foetuses of Awassi sheep are described. The foetuses were removed from the dams by caesarean section because of dystocia due to failure of cervical dilation. Uterine incision was made in situ because uteri were so distended they could not be brought out from the site of incision. Large quantities of uterine fluids and abnormal thick placentas were found. One foetus weighed about 7 kg and the other 13 kg. The foetal heads were deformed: the upper jaw was prognathic and the left ear of the small foetus was cystic. Necropsy revealed subcutaneous musculature was soft and flabby and abdominal and thoracic cavities contained serosanguinous fluid. Histopathological examination revealed that only the larger foetus had focal aggregates of basophilic nucleated red blood cells and scattered megakaryocytes in the liver. We conclude that anasarca can occur in Awassi sheep, with and without associated extramedullary haematopoiesis.
本文描述了两只阿瓦西绵羊的全身水肿胎儿。由于宫颈扩张失败导致难产，通过剖宫产从母羊体内取出胎儿。由于子宫极度膨胀，无法从切口处取出，因此在原位进行子宫切口。发现大量子宫积液和异常增厚的胎盘。一只胎儿重约7千克，另一只重13千克。胎儿头部畸形：上颌前突，小胎儿的左耳呈囊性。尸检显示皮下肌肉组织柔软松弛，腹腔和胸腔内含有血性浆液。组织病理学检查显示，只有较大的胎儿肝脏中有嗜碱性有核红细胞灶性聚集和散在的巨核细胞。我们得出结论，阿瓦西绵羊可发生全身水肿，伴有或不伴有髓外造血。
