Summary

External cephalic version (ECV) reduces breech births but can lead to complications like funic presentation. Post-procedure monitoring is crucial for fetal well-being after ECV.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Breech presentation is a significant risk factor in childbirth.
  • External cephalic version (ECV) is an effective procedure to convert breech presentations to cephalic, reducing intrapartum risks.

Observation:

  • A rare complication of successful ECV, known as funic presentation, was observed.
  • Funic presentation involves the umbilical cord prolapsing or presenting before the fetus.

Findings:

  • While ECV is beneficial, it carries a risk of adverse sequelae.
  • The study highlights funic presentation as a potential complication following ECV.

Implications:

  • Increased surveillance for adverse events is necessary with the widespread use of ECV.
