Breech presentation refers to the fetus in
the longitudinal lie with the buttocks or
lower extremity entering the pelvis first.
 The lie is longitudinal with the sacrum as
denominator
 There are two types of breech
presentation: complete,incomplete
Types of Breech
 Incomplete breech presentation, there is incomplete
flexion with extension at 1 or 2 joint.

Types of Breech
ETIOLOGY FOR BREECH
MATERNAL FACTORS
 Multiparity
 Placenta previa
 Cornuofundal attachment of placenta
 Uterine anomalies like bicornuate
and septate uterus.
 Uterine fibroids in the lower segment
 Contracted pelvis
 Hydramnios and oligohydramnios
FETAL FACTORS
 Prematurity
 Multiple pregnancy
 Hydrocephalus as bulky head
occupies the roomy fundus
 Very long and short umbilical
cord
 Extended legs
DIAGNOSIS OF BREECH PRESENTATION: Abdominal examination
 In case of complete breech
 Head on fundus region
 Fetal spine on one side
 Breech is bulky
 Breech is not engaged
 FHS above level of umbilicus
DIAGNOSIS OF BREECH PRESENTATION: Abdominal examination
 In case of extended breech
 Head is in midline of fundus region and
is less ballotable due to splinting action
of legs
 Fetal spine along with small parts on
one side
 Breech is not bulky
 Breech is usually engaged
 FHS around level of umbilicus or lower
level due to engagement.
DIAGNOSIS OF BREECH PRESENTATION: Vaginal examination
 Conical bag of membranes
 Presenting part is high up.
 Both ischial tuberosity, anus,
sacrum, buttocks and feet are
palpated-in complete breech.
 In extended breech,feets not
palpated.
 In footling presentation, feets are
presenting part.
DIAGNOSIS OF BREECH PRESENTATION: Ultrasonography
 Very useful method:
 Confirms the breech
 Type of breech
 To rule out any fetal anomalies
and uterine anomalies.
 Fetal biometry, EFW
 Localization of placenta previa
 Delivery of Buttocks
 Engagement : intertrochanteric diameter lies in the inlet. It can be
either RSA or LSA
 Descent: Breech is very less efficient dilator than the head, so
descent will be slow
 Internal rotation:
 More descent with lateral flexion.
 Birth of buttocks:- The anterior hip will come first at vulva by lateral
flexion and posterior hip distends the perineum and then delivered.

NORMAL BREECH LABOUR METHODS
The BurnsMarshall method involves allowing the breech to 'hang' by
its weight until the nape of the neck (or the 'hair-line') is visible. This is
followed by holding both feet and the fetus on to the maternal abdomen
to deliver the fetal head.

LOVSET MANUVER
Antenatal Management
 Antenatal management involves the following:
 Screening high risk factors
 ECV in suitable cases
 Decision about mode of delivery
MODE OF DELIVERY
 Elective caesarean delivery:
 All complicated breech like pre eclampsia,
Contracted pelvis, placenta previa
 Large baby more than 3500 gm/ BPD>9.5cm
 Previous C.S
 Non availability of skilled obstetrician
 IUGR
MODE OF DELIVERY
Vaginal delivery:
