We report a novel application of intrapartum sonography, herein used to assist the internal podalic version and the vaginal delivery of a transverse-lying second twin. Following the vaginal delivery of the first cephalic twin, the internal podalic version was performed under continuous ultrasound vision, leading to the uncomplicated breech delivery of a healthy neonate.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
