Cyclopia Case Report in Peruvian Sheep with Imaging and Environmental Data

A case report describes a rare congenital malformation, cyclopia, in a newborn sheep from a twin pregnancy in Peru. The report includes clinical-pathological analysis, imaging, and an environmental assessment. MEDALI CUEVA RODRIGUEZ authored this study, which was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze the clinical-pathological findings, such as maternal anemia and twin hepatorenal damage, to understand the condition's pathology.
• Study the environmental assessment and flock inbreeding data to identify predisposing factors for cyclopia.
• Use the included imaging data for comparative morphological analysis of craniofacial defects in ruminants.
• Reference the case details for educational purposes in veterinary medicine courses on teratology.

Strengths

• Report includes specific clinical-pathological data like maternal anemia and biochemical alterations in the twin.
• Provides a detailed environmental assessment and identifies inbreeding as a key factor.
• Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Dataset is a single case report, providing a sample size of one affected animal.
• The 11.8 MB size indicates a small-scale document, limiting statistical analysis.
• Geographic scope is limited to a specific region in the northern highlands of Peru.
