Abstract
Dystocia due to twisting or revolution of the gravid uterus on its longitudinal axis
is more common in cattle and buffalo; however, it is occasionally reported in small
ruminants. Uterine torsions of 45° - 90° are frequent and may show no symptoms but
torsion of 180° or more show constipation, abdominal pain and colic symptoms. A non-
descript full term parous goat with the history of an accident three months back was
presented to LAC - Obstetrics Unit of Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital.
