I've seen these deformations with castrated males that were castrated very young or desert-antelopes, that were kept on too green ground. Desert animals tend to have problems with too much gras and stuff.
All the horn-deformities I have seen develop from young ungulates are the result of knocks to the growing horn- buds, sometimes from the environment and sometimes from others. This animals horns are certainly bizarre indeed, they should be growing upright obviously.
It's a result of a diet too high in protein and other nutrients. You can imagine in the desert they eat a very poor diet. The same thing is seen in other animals in captivity, such as "pyramiding" in tortoises!
