| Hydrocepalus is defined as absolute increase in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain ventricular system, within meninges or both, thereby leading to the swelling of the cranium. This congenital, hereditary defect is reported occasionally in ewe, doe, mare and sow whilst it is rarely seen in cattle and buffalo. This communication describes a case of congenital hydrocephalus in foetus and per-vaginal delivery by mutation and forced traction without performing fetotomy or surgical intervention.
