External cephalic version can lead to rare fetomaternal macrotransfusion days later. Periodic fetal heart tone monitoring and Doppler ultrasound are crucial for early detection of this complication.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Neonatal Care

Context:

  • External cephalic version (ECV) is an alternative to vaginal breech delivery and cesarean section.
  • Complications of ECV require prompt identification and management.
  • This case highlights a delayed complication following ECV.

Purpose:

  • To investigate potential complications associated with external cephalic version.
  • To identify methods for early detection and treatment of ECV-related complications.
  • To report a case of delayed fetomaternal hemorrhage post-ECV.

Summary:

  • A 28-year-old patient underwent ECV for breech presentation at 38 weeks gestation.
  • Despite initial normal findings, a delayed complication of fetal anemia due to fetomaternal macrotransfusion occurred days after ECV.

  • Fetal heart tone (FHT) monitoring and Doppler ultrasonography revealed abnormalities, leading to timely cesarean delivery.

    • Impact:

    • Fetomaternal macrotransfusion is a rare but serious complication of ECV, potentially occurring days after the procedure.
    • Routine FHT monitoring and Doppler flow studies are essential for early detection.
    • The Kleihauer-Betke test is the gold standard for diagnosing fetomaternal macrotransfusion.
