Abstract
A Holstein Friesian cow was presented with history of labour since 12 hours with foetal fore limbs protruding out of
vulva. Vaginal examination revealed foetus in anterior longitudinal presentation with fore limbs protruding from vulva. Palpation of foetal head revealed fluctuating swelling in occipital region. The foetus was delivered with careful traction and had swelling in occipital region with excessive accumulation of watery fluid confirming hydrocephalus. An
uneventful recovery was observed following relieving of dystocia and treatment.
