After attempts for per-vaginal delivery became futile, the fetus was removed by C-section. Radio graphical examination revealed presence of double S shaped vertebral column suggesting Perosomus horridus fetal monster. The present study describes the successful management of dystokia due to Perosomus horridus fetal monster in a crossbred jersey cow.
