    External cephalic version can lead to compound fetal presentations, particularly feet-vertex combinations. These carry higher risks of fetal mortality and obstructed labor compared to hand-vertex presentations.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
    • Surgical Procedures

    Background:

    • External cephalic version (ECV) is a procedure to externally manipulate a fetus into a cephalic presentation.
    • Compound presentations, where a fetal extremity presents alongside the presenting part, can complicate labor and delivery.
    • The combination of feet and vertex presentation following ECV is a specific concern.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present two cases of compound presentation after external version.
    • To highlight the risks associated with feet-vertex compound presentations post-ECV.
    • To discuss the diagnosis, management, and prevention of this complication.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report presentation.
    • Literature review on compound presentations following external cephalic version.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Discussion of etiological factors, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • Feet-vertex compound presentation following ECV is noted to be frequent.
    • This combination is associated with increased fetal mortality, higher interference rates, and obstructed labor compared to hand-vertex presentations.
    • Challenges in diagnosis and management are discussed.

    Conclusions:

    • Compound presentations, especially feet-vertex, pose significant risks after external cephalic version.
    • Awareness and prompt management are crucial for improving outcomes.
    • Preventive measures and standardized protocols are recommended to mitigate complications.
