Funic presentation as a complication of external cephalic version. A case report.

Martin Larry Gimovsky, Catherine A Boyd

Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Breech presentation is associated with increased risk. External cephalic version (ECV) has been successful in decreasing the incidence of intrapartum breech presentation. CASE: Funic presentation occurred as a complication of successful ECV. CONCLUSION: The wide-spread use of version calls for increased surveillance for adverse sequelae. At the completion of ECV, ultrasound analysis, pelvic examination and fetal heart rate monitoring are appropriate to exclude serious cord complications.
