In a vertex presentation when the occiput is In a vertex presentation when the occiput is placed posteriorly over the sacrum / sacro – placed posteriorly over the sacrum / sacro – iliac joint, it is called an occipito – posterior iliac joint, it is called an occipito – posterior position.position.

Occipito – posterior is an abnormal position of the Occipito – posterior is an abnormal position of the vertex rather than an abnormal presentation. (In most vertex rather than an abnormal presentation. (In most of cases (90%) anterior rotation of occiput occurs.) of cases (90%) anterior rotation of occiput occurs.) But as the posterior position may give rise to But as the posterior position may give rise to Dystocia (abnormal labour & delivery), it is Dystocia (abnormal labour & delivery), it is associated with mal presentation.associated with mal presentation.

Factors favouring long anterior rotation
(1) Well flexed head.
(2) Good uterine contractions.
(3) Roomy pelvis.
(4) Good pelvic floor.
(5) No premature rupture of membranes.
Causes of failure of long anterior rotation:
(1) Deflexed head.
(2) Uterine inertia.
(3) Contracted pelvis: rotation of the head cannot easily occur in android pelvis due to projection of the ischial spines and convergence of the side walls.
(4) Lax or rigid pelvic floor.
(5) Premature rupture of membranes or its rupture early in labour.

Assisted delivery
Pelvis adequate Inadequate pelvis
-Manual rotation of occiput to anterior position followed by forceps extraction- vacuum delivery- forceps rotation
Dead baby
Craniotomy C/S
Manual rotation and extraction by forceps:
Under general anaesthesia the following steps are done:
1-Disimpaction: the head is grasped bitemporally and pushed slightly upwards.
2-Flexion of the head.
3-Rotation of the occiput anteriorly by the right hand vaginally aided by,
- Rotation of the anterior shoulder abdominally towards the middle line by the left hand or an assistant.
4-- Fix the head abdominally by an assistant, apply forceps and extract it
