Notomelia with Supernumerary Hindlimb in a Korean Native Calf

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A 1-month-old female Korean native calf was referred to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, Kyungpook National University. The chief complaint was a supernumerary limb on the dorsal thoracic region. The ectopic limb was smaller than normal limbs and it was partially attached on the ribs. Surgical excision was performed to remove the supernumerary ectopic limb and notomelia was successfully corrected. Supernumerary ectopic limb is defined as the presence of accessory limb or limbs attached to various body regions. This study reports macroscopic and radiographic features of notomelia in a female Korean native calf.
