External cephalic version can be repeated if the fetus spontaneously reverts to breech presentation. This method allows for vaginal delivery even after multiple attempts at external cephalic version.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Perinatal Medicine
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Breech presentation at term complicates vaginal delivery.
  • External cephalic version (ECV) is a procedure to turn a fetus from breech to cephalic presentation.
  • Spontaneous reversion to breech after successful ECV can occur.

Observation:

  • A patient at term experienced spontaneous reversion to breech presentation after external cephalic version was performed three times.
  • The patient was subsequently delivered vaginally.

Findings:

  • Repeated external cephalic version procedures can be successful in managing spontaneous reversion to breech presentation.
  • Vaginal delivery is achievable following multiple ECV attempts and spontaneous reversion.

Implications:

  • External cephalic version is a viable option for managing breech presentation, even with spontaneous reversion.
  • This approach may increase the likelihood of successful vaginal birth in cases of breech presentation.
  • Further research into optimizing ECV protocols for persistent breech presentation is warranted.
