Pediatric Surgery Spinal Cord Injury in Cephalic Presentation

چکیده
Association between difficult delivery and spinal cord injury (SCI) at birth has been known since 1870(1). Majority of such injuries are seen following difficult breech extractions but SCI in cephalic deliveries are rare(2). With the improvement in obstetrical care, SCI have become rare and often uncertainty about its diagnosis exists during the early postnatal period. We report two cases of SCI in cephalic presentation and describe certain diagnostic and prognostic features that would help in the care of these infants.
