An adult Murrah buffalo at full term in third parity suffering from dystocia was brought to the Veterinary clinics of the university. The fetal fluid was scanty, therefore, postural abnormality of fetal head could not be corrected. Finally, caesarean section through ventro-lateral in her right recumbency was carried out in routine manner and fetus with anomalies of head was delivered.
