Decompressive Craniotomy in the Management of Entrapment of after Coming Head of Breech with Intrapartum Fetal Death in a Rural Centre: A Case Report
Abstract
Case: A case of breech delivery complicated with intra-partum fetal death and entrapment of the aftercoming head is presented. The patient presented with a fresh stillbirth dangling in the introitus in breech presentation with the head entrapped in the pelvis. A de-compressive craniotomy was performed with subsequent delivery of the entrapped after-coming head.
Results: There were no post-procedure complications.
Conclusion: Training of medical personnel in the skills of destructive operation is recommended, as it still has a role in reducing caesarean section in rural settings.
