## TL;DR

This case report describes a rare incomplete kneeling breech presentation during a 37-week pregnancy in a first-time mother.

## Contribution

The paper provides a detailed clinical account of a rare fetal presentation type, contributing to limited existing knowledge on its management.

## Key findings

- The patient presented with an incomplete kneeling breech at 37 weeks gestation.
- Pelvic examination confirmed the rare fetal position despite a fully dilated cervix and ruptured membranes.

## Abstract

The kneeling breech presentation is extremely rare, especially among the deliveries at term; the information about the management of this type of fetal lie is poor. Here we discuss a case of a 24-year-old primipara woman, at 37 weeks of gestation, who was admitted to the hospital with a fully dilated cervix and ruptured membranes. The pelvic examination revealed an incomplete kneeling breech presentation.
