    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Perinatal Medicine

    Background:

    • Face presentation is a rare obstetric complication.
    • Understanding its etiology, management, and outcomes is crucial for clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the diagnosis, etiology, management, and outcomes of face presentation in a cohort of 51 cases.
    • To identify factors influencing delivery mode and fetal well-being.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 51 cases of face presentation.
    • Review of maternal and fetal characteristics, delivery details, and outcomes.
    • Fetal heart rate monitoring data analysis.

    Main Results:

    • Mentum anterior position (51%) predominantly resulted in vaginal delivery.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Mentum posterior position had a higher Cesarean section rate (70%) compared to mentum anterior (1.9%).
  • Infants with persistent mentum posterior had a significantly higher mean birth weight (p<0.01).

    • Conclusions:

    • Early diagnosis and continuous fetal surveillance are vital for managing face presentation.
    • Consideration of primary Cesarean section for persistent mentum posterior presentation at term is recommended.
    • Improved management strategies can enhance fetal outcomes in face presentation cases.
