Abstract

Uterus torsion in cows is an emergency case that usually leads to foetus and cow death. Conservative management has low efficacy and cesarian surgery is indicated in the majority of the cases. The report describes the case of a 36-year-old Nellore cow taken to Hospital Escola de Grandes Animais of Universidade de Brasíla with uterus torsion and toxemia signs. After improductive rolling procedures, the animal was lead to a cesarian surgery and died during the procedure. Uterus torsion is described in european breeds, but this patology is not well-known in Nellore cattle.

KEY WORDS: Cesarian, distocia, laparotomy, Nelore, obstetrics.
