| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is an abnormal lie of the fetus? | It is when the long axis of the fetus is not lying along the long axis of the mother’s uterus. |
| What are the 3 types of abnormal lie? | Transverse Oblique Unstable (Longitudinal lie may either be cephalic or breech and is considered normal.) |
| What is malposition in terms of fetal positioning? | It is when the fetus is lying longitudinally and the vertex is presenting, but not in the Occiput Anterior (OA) position. |
| what are the two Occiput under MALPOSITION? | Occiput Posterior (OP) Occiput Transverse (OT) |
| What is Occiput Posterior (OP)? | A malposition of vertex presentation. Arrested labor may occur when the head does not rotate and/or descend. Delivery may be complicated by perineal tears or extension of an episiotomy. |
| What is Occiput Transverse (OT)? | It is the incomplete rotation of Occiput Posterior to Occiput Anterior, resulting in a horizontal or transverse position of the fetal head. |
| What 5 factors favor malposition? | 1. Pendulous abdomen – in multiparae 2. Anthropoid pelvic brim – favors direct OP/OA 3. Android pelvic brim 4. Flat sacrum – transverse position 5. Placenta on the anterior uterine wall |
| What is the usual course of labor in malposition cases? | Labor is usually normal, except for a prolonged second stage lasting more than 2 hours. |
| What are the abdominal examination findings in malposition? | a) Lower part of the abdomen is flattened b) Difficult to palpate the fetal back c) Fetal small parts are palpable anteriorly d) Fetal heart tone may be heard in the flanks |
| What are the vaginal examination findings in malposition? | a) Posterior fontanel towards sacral-iliac joint (hard to feel) b) Anterior fontanel easily felt if head is deflexed c) Marked molding and extensive caput, making station and position hard to assess |
| What is the management for malposition during labor? | Spontaneous rotation to occiput anterior occurs in 90% of cases, especially with good uterine contractions, a spacious pelvis, and an average-sized fetus. If arrest of labor occurs in the second stage: Emergency cesarean section. |
| What is malpresentation? | It is when the fetus is lying longitudinally, but presents in any manner other than vertex. |
| 5 pparts of the body where Malpresentation occur | • Breech • Brow • Face • Shoulder • Compound |
| It’s a type of vertex malpresentation and is the most uncommon of all presentations. Babies born vaginally from brow presentation experience extreme facial edema. | Brow Presentation |
| How is Brow Presentation assessed on abdominal examination? | More than half of the fetal head is above the symphysis pubis, and the occiput is palpable at a higher level than the sinciput. |
| How is Brow Presentation assessed on vaginal examination? | It can be delivered only by cesarean section (CS). |
| It occurs when the fetal head is hyper-extended and the face becomes the presenting part. The chin (mentum) is the denominator. | Face Presentation |
| What is the mechanism of labor in Face Presentation? | Descent Internal Rotation Flexion Extension External Rotation Expulsion |
| What are the maternal causes of Face Presentation? | Lax uterus due to multiparity Contracted pelvis / cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD) Placenta previa Multiple pregnancy Occiput posterior position |
| What are the fetal causes of Face Presentation? | Large fetus Congenital malformation (e.g. anencephaly) Multiple cord coils Musculoskeletal abnormality (spasm/shortening of neck extensors) Tumors around the neck (e.g. congenital goiter) |
| a. Absence of engagement b. On internal examination, fingers feel the mouth, nose, malar bones, and orbital ridges c. Ultrasound (UTZ) confirms the diagnosis are sign and symtomps of? | Face Presentation |
| What is the management for Face Presentation when the chin is in the anterior position (LMA or RMA)? | If uterine contractions are strong, the head is small, shoulders have entered the pelvis, and there’s no pelvic contraction, vaginal delivery is possible but longer than usual. Forceps may be used to hasten the second stage. |
| What is the management for Face Presentation when the chin is in the posterior position (LMP or RMP)? | Vaginal delivery is usually impossible and dangerous as it can lead to transverse arrest — cesarean section (CS) is recommended. |
| It occurs when the larger diameter of the fetal head presents, causing slower labor progress and descent of the fetal head. | Sincipital Presentation |
| How does Sincipital Presentation affect labor? | It slows labor progress and the descent of the fetal head due to the larger presenting diameter. |
