RESUMO
Ultrasonography currently has great utility in the veterinary clinical routine of small animals with regard to gestation. Fetal hydrops is characterized as malformation that causes abnormal accumulation of fluid in the subcutaneous tissue. A Yorkshire terrier dog, 6 years old, was referred to the imaging department of VETCLINIC Veterinary Hospital 24 hours for gestational ultrasonographic evaluation, where it can be observed that the patient was pregnant with only one cub and that it had full cysts of fluid detected in the subcutaneous tissue, in addition to pleural effusion associated with echogenic and with drawn lungs. The animal was then referred to the surgical center for cesarean section, where the fetus was found to be enlarged due to edema, and died a few minutes later. Ultrasound examination in the prenatal of the female canine was indispensable for the diagnosis of the fetal abnormality.

Two cases of cloverleaf anomaly are presented. The first one was associated to complete spina bifida and flexion of elbows and knees, and the second to syndactyly of 3rd and 4th fingers of both hands; short, broad and swerved thumbs; rudimentary bilateral preaxial polydactyly, pes varus with broad first metatarsus. Authors agree with the opinion that this anomaly is a sign which may occur in disorders with early craniosynostosis and emphasise the importance of the identification of the underlying disorder because, knowing its pattern of inheritance, a proper genetic advice may be rendered. The neurosurgical procedure can be useful for cosmetic purposes and for encephalitic decompression, but the results are somewhat unsatisfactory because of the severity of the defect.
