Abstract: A four hours old goat kid was presented with protrusion of a transparent peritoneal sac containing congested stomach and intestines from a ventral abdominal defect at the umbilical region. Based on clinical examination the case was diagnosed as eventration with epitheliogenesis imperfecta. A small linear incision was made at the cranial aspect of the abdominal defect following which the kid started gasping. Despite immediate efforts to manage the condition the kid succumbed. This communication reports the occurrence of congenital eventration with epitheliogenesis imperfecta in a male goat kid.
