E-mail: saulocaldas@hotmail.com A case of bilateral queilosquise in a cattle two years old was reported. Clinically, there was cachexia, difficulty in grasping food and water intake. The clinical examination revealed that the nasal orifices were discontinuous with the upper lip, which allowed communication between the nostrils and mouth in its rostral portion, crowding of incisors (tweezers), as well as exposure of medium and the 2nd corner and of the tongue. In this case, the bilateral queilosquise was the result of flaws in fusion of the maxillary process and the medial nasal process and its surroundings, probably due to mineral deficiencies of pregnant cow. This pathogenesis was suggested by excluding other possible causes, the knowledge of the existence of mineral deficiencies in the region where the event occurred and bad nutritional status of pregnant female.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine}, author={Caldas, Saulo Andrade and Nogueira, Vivian de Assunção and Lima, Alessandra Estrela da Silva and Aragão, Ana Paula and d’Avila, Mariana Sequeira and dos Santos, André Marandola and Miranda, Ileana Costa and Costa, Samay Zillmann Rocha and Peixoto, Tiago Cunha}, year={2014}, month={Jan.}, pages={55–59} }
