Abstract
A ten-year-old pluriparous crossbred cow with the history of prolonged estrus signs
was presented to the Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital. Per rectal examination
revealed follicular cyst in the right ovary. On real-time ultrasonography, a large anechoic
follicle and multiple follicles were visualized in the right and left ovary, respectively. The
case was diagnosed as Cystic Ovarian Degeneration due to follicular cyst and treated with
20μg-GnRH intramuscularly. Re-examination after 10 days revealed persisted cyst on right
ovary and even after second GnRH, the condition persisted. Further, the cow was treated
with PGF2α @ 500μg intramuscularly but cysts the persisted. Then, the cyst was punctured
and follicular fluid aspirated through ultrasound guided transvaginal probe with a needle
and about 12 ml of follicular fluid was recovered but the cyst recurred again. Hence, from
the study it was concluded that the case was non-responsive for either hormonal therapy
or ultrasound guided transvaginal follicular aspiration which might be due to its chronic,
secretory nature and thus the prognosis remains poor.
