Summary
Abnormal obstetric presentation is a challenge for obstetricians when either birth of a viable fetus (>23 weeks of gestation) is imminent or when counselling expecting women. Vertex or cephalic presentation is the most common situation and is associated with the lowest complication rate during birth. It is important to screen for abnormal obstetric presentation in order to prevent adverse outcomes and to prepare for the appropriate perinatal management.
