(U.P.) with the history of full term gestation, unproductive straining and severe degree CVP for past 72 hrs. Per-vaginal examination revealed that 1 finger cervical dilation whereas per rectal examination revealed the presence of foetus in anterior presentation and dorsosacral position. The handling of the presented case, obstetrical correction, its post-delivery care and obstetrical management is discussed in the present communication. Keywords: Cervico-vaginal prolapsed, Dystocia, Incomplete cervical dilation. INTRODUCTION Cervico-vaginal prolapse usually involve protrusion of the portion of the floor, lateral walls and roof of vagina through vulva along with the cervix and uterus, moving caudally (Roberts 1971).It is a common obstetrical problem which adversely affects productive and reproductive performance by affecting postpartum return to estrus, conception rate and calving interval. Many instances CVP it is associated with incomplete cervical dilatation that is leads to dystocia. This condition which common in primigravida, have a incidence of 11.1 to 16.7% in cows (Wehrend and Bostedt, 2003). However, Purohit et al., (2011) found the incidence of ICD in cattle and buffaloes to be 5.1%. It occurs because of altered endocrine milieu during parturition. Cervico-vaginal prolapsed (CVP) is mediated by increased circulating concentrations of estrogens and relaxin during last trimester of pregnancy leading to relaxation and softening of the pelvic ligaments. It is aggravated by the continuous straining by the dam and the incomplete dilation of cervix.
