Presentation
As a consequence, group of cephalic presenting fetuses is heterogeneous. Some fetuses randomly assume the cephalic presentation while others assume cephalic presentation 'intentionally' for a reason. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Wound Infection
Among them 11(10.7%) developed wound infection and five stayed in hospital waiting for baby. CONCLUSION: Nullipara ladies with breech presentation should have elective caesarean section as a preferred route of delivery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Euthyroid
RESULTS: Increased TSH in pregnancy, defined as thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) 97.5th percentile ( 3.53mIU/L), was associated with a higher risk for breech presentation at term (aOR 2.32, CI 1.1-4.8, p 0.02) compared to euthyroidism (TSH between 2.5th [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Convulsions
Composite neonatal mortality and morbidity (death, assisted ventilation, convulsions, or specific birth injury) was the primary outcome. Logistic regression was used to estimate the independent effects of mode of delivery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Moxibustion treatment also significantly increases version from a breech presentation to a cephalic presentation where there are fewer side effects reported, if the woman is multiparous and has support during the administration of moxibustion treatment [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
(Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Breech Presentation and Breech Birth is generally good. [dovemed.com]
Prognosis for the fetuses depends on the gestational age, congenital malformations, mode of delivery and delivery complications. · If there is breech presentation of the fetus, delivery may be complicated by fetal asphyxia or trauma. · External cephalic [folk.uio.no]
Prognosis Perinatal mortality is increased with breech presentation by a factor of between 2 and 4 regardless of the mode of delivery. [patient.info]

(Etiology) The exact cause of breech presentation is not known However a few factors, such as multiple pregnancies, abnormal uterus condition, and labor before the designated delivery period, are commonly associated with breech position or breech presentation [dovemed.com]

Prevention
Keeping high index of suspicion, an early cesarean section can be an aide in preventing these complications. Once the baby is born, careful examination and early intervention should be done to prevent long term complications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In these cases, an episiotomy may prevent excessive tearing. [healthline.com]
