Abstract
Although Willis (1962) reported incidences of
complete pharyngo-cutaneous fistula in humans,
there is no literature on its occurrence or similar
conditions in animals.
A crossbred one day-old heifer calf, on
examination revealed a clefl at the base of the left
ear, which was extending up to the level of the angle
of mandible. The cleft was accompanied by
pharyngo~cutaneous fistula openíng into the cleft.
Ventral to the opening, there was an abnormal
xudimentaiy tongue (Som long and 2.5 cm wide) and a
lower jaw with two temporaxy central incisors (Fig.1).
The extemal ear canal was absent on the left side.
