ABSTRACT
The study was planned to investigate the topographic and morphometric anatomy of the caudo-frontal depression of the Black Bengal Goat, as well as to determine the site for the cornual nerve block. A total of 33 Head samples from both sexes of adult Black Bengal goat were studied. Dissection was performed to explore the course of the cornual nerve, emphasizing where it passed over the caudo-frontal depression. The mean distance between the lateral margin of orbit to the caudo-frontal depression and the caudolateral base of the horn to the caudo-frontal depression were 1.01±0.03 and 0.50±0.04 cm, respectively. Again, the mean length and breadth of the caudo-frontal depression were 0.99±0.07 and 0.36±0.05 cm, respectively. This topographic and morphometric anatomy of the caudal-frontal depression of the Black Bengal goats will be helpful for veterinary practitioners in determining the most convenient site for the cornual nerve block of the Black Bengal goats.
