OCCIPITO-POSTERIOR PRESENTATION

The Management of Some Difficult Occipito-Posterior Cases

Until quite recently, I had been in tlie habit of thinking, and indeed sometimes of teaching, that when the obstetric forceps slipped off the head during the operation of extraction, the instrument had been unskilfully applied. Within the last month I have changed my views on this point entirely. Up till October of this year I had no personal experience of the accident, but during that month I ...

A Complication of Occipito-Posterior Position of the Vertex

Though much has been written on the subject, occipito-posterior positions of the vertex offer a wide field for study. The frequency of this deviation from the normal standard is sufficiently marked to warrant us in endeavouring to trace out every complication which may accompany the position. Without detaining you with statistics, I should like to draw attention to the fact that, out of 414 bir...

Effective Connectivity from Early Visual Cortex to Posterior Occipito- temporal Face Areas Predicts Developmental Prosopagnosia

Maternal positioning to correct occipito-posterior fetal position in labour: a randomised controlled trial

BACKGROUND The occipito-posterior (OP) fetal head position during the first stage of labour occurs in 10-34% of cephalic presentations. Most will spontaneous rotate in anterior position before delivery, but 5-8% of all births will persist in OP position for the third stage of labour. Previous observations have shown that this can lead to an increase of complications, such as an abnormally long ...

Late presentation of posterior urethral valves.

Presence of posterior urethral valves (PUV) is the most common cause of urinary tract obstruction in the male neonate. Late presentation occurs in 10% of cases. We present a case of PUVs in an adult male who presented with history of obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms and hematuria. On evaluation, he was found to have raised serum creatinine level. A voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) could ...
