Abstract: Schistosoma reflexus is a fetal congenital disorder seen most commonly in cattle but rarely observed in small ruminants. A Schistosoma reflexus presented with its extremities delivered successfully pervaginally in a pleuriparous Nellore Brown ewe was reported. All clinical parameters were within normal limits. Upon per-vaginal examination, the fetal head was present at the pelvic brim. Based on this, a tentative diagnosis of dystocia due to malpresentation was made.
