“…Prior literature concerning fetal head positioning primarily has been in that of assessing the singleton breech during labor. Although the positioning of the head has commonly been assessed subjectively in this population, angles of greater than either 908, 1058, or 1358 from the thoracic spine to the mandible have been thought to indicate hyperextension of the fetal head 6,12,13 . We have considered hyperextension as .…”

Although resolution of isolated hyperextension of the fetal head is associated with a normal neonatal outcome, persistent isolated hyperextension of the fetal head can be associated with either a normal or an abnormal neonatal outcome. Fetuses with hyperextended heads and antenatally diagnosed structural anomalies have dismal outcomes. The identification of a fetus with hyperextension of the fetal head should prompt a detailed search for structural abnormalities.

“…Protocols for selecting women to vaginal delivery and national guidelines for breech presentation have been introduced (13)(14)(15). Especially, in breech deliveries, monitoring with cardiotocography during delivery has been recommended and introduced (15,16). Breech deliveries have been centralized to larger maternity institutions e.g.…”

“…The high CS proportion in BP has caused concern about how to maintain experience with regard to vaginal breech delivery, and how to train the next generation of obstetricians (2,15). In Norway, we still maintain the experience with vaginal BP delivery at least at the larger maternity institutions.…”

Vaginal delivery in breech presentation was particularly observed in large delivery departments and among mothers with urban residence. Since experience and practical competence are prerequisites for successful vaginal delivery, this centralization seems justified. Further centralization of all breech presentation births should be pursued. However, preparedness as to vaginal delivery should be established also at the smaller units, e.g. by a routine providing periodical centralized training for obstetricians working in smaller institutions.
