Pelvis
• Space or compartment surrounded by the pelvic girdle
(bony pelvis)
• Subdivided into greater and lesser pelvis
– greater pelvis affords protection to inferior abdominal viscera
– lesser pelvis provides the skeletal framework for both the
pelvic cavity and the perineum
![Page 4: Abnormal lie & presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052215/554b3d16b4c905cd2c8b48d7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Normal pelvis - anatomy
• The bony pelvis is formed by 4 bones:-
a. Right and left hip bones (fusion of Ilium, Ischium and Pubis)
b. Sacrum (fusion of 5 sacral vertebrae)
c. Coccyx
• Joints :-
– 2 Sacroilliac joints
– Pubic Symphysis and
– Sacrococcygeal joint Clinically Oriented Anatomy, 5th
Edition, Moore, Keith L.; Dalley,
Arthur F. page 357

Pelvic inlet
• Bounded:
– anterior by Pubic
symphysis
– laterally by upper margin
of pubic bones, the
ileopectineal line & ala of
the sacrum
– Posteriorly by the sacral
promontory.
• Normal Transverse
diameter = 13.5 cm
• Anterior-Posterior
diameter = 11.0 cm
![Page 6: Abnormal lie & presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052215/554b3d16b4c905cd2c8b48d7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Inlet – side view
• The angle of the inlet:
– -normally 60° to the
horizontal in the erect
position.
– Increase in angle may
delay the head entering the
pelvis in labour

Pelvic mid cavity
• area bounded:
– anteriorly by middle of Symphysis Pubis
– -laterally by pubic bones and inner aspect of the ischial spine and bone
– posteriorly by junction of 2nd and 3rd sacral section.
• Cavity almost rounded. Transverse &AP diameter are similar at 12cm.
• The ischial spines are palpable vaginally and used as landmarks to assess the station and pudendal anaesthetic block.

Pelvic outlet
• Bounded:
-anteriorly by the lower margin of the of SP
-laterally by the descending ramus of the pubic bone, ischial tuberosity and sacrotuberous ligament
-posteriorly bounded to last segment of sacrum
![Page 9: Abnormal lie & presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052215/554b3d16b4c905cd2c8b48d7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Pelvic outlet diameters
Transverse diameter =
11 cm
AP diameter = 13.5 cm

Types of pelves
• 4 common pelvic shapes in female
-Gynaecoid pelvis(most favourable for labour)
-Android pelvis(predispose to deep transverse arrest)
-Anthropoid pelvis (encourage occipito-posterior position)
-Platypelloid pelvis(increase risk of obstructed labour)

Fetal skull
Made up of:
• Vault (formed by the
parietal bones, part of the
occipital, frontal and
temporal bones), Face
and Base.
• Sutures-sagittal, coronal,
frontal, temporal
• Fontanelles(anterior and
posterior)
![Page 13: Abnormal lie & presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052215/554b3d16b4c905cd2c8b48d7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Skull diameters
• The fetal head is ovoid
in shape.
• The attitude of the fetal
head refers to the
degree of the extension
or flexion at the upper
cervical spine.

Basic Definition
• Lie – Relationship between long axis of fetus and long
axis of uterus
• Presentation- Part of the fetus that presents to the
maternal pelvis

presents
Should be suspected in
unexpectedly prolonged

progress

CLINICALDIAGNOSIS
![Page 27: Abnormal lie & presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052215/554b3d16b4c905cd2c8b48d7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Important
• Dates must always be determined
– By history
● Regularity of periods
● Dates of onset of pregnancy symptoms
● Date of quickening
– Examination
● Uterine size & fundal assesment
– Ix
● Ultrasound scanning (esp. 1st trimester)
![Page 28: Abnormal lie & presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052215/554b3d16b4c905cd2c8b48d7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Discrepancy in dates
• This can lead to a wrong diagnosis of abnormal lie
• Preterm fetuses are prone to abnormal lie
• Confirmation of dates can rule out macrosomia (a cause
of abn lie & presentation)
![Page 29: Abnormal lie & presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052215/554b3d16b4c905cd2c8b48d7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
History taking
• Assess pregnancy for risk factors
• Previous or current history of vaginal bleeding includes
onset, duration, amount, character and aggravating factor (to
rule out placenta praevia)
• Ask for any history of decreased fetal movement
• Any previous or current history of multiple pregnancy
![Page 30: Abnormal lie & presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052215/554b3d16b4c905cd2c8b48d7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Past History
• Previous history of abnormal lie and presentation.
• Previous history of preterm delivery
• History of fetal anomalies (eg:hydrocephalus)
• History of tumour (thyroid, pelvis)
![Page 31: Abnormal lie & presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052215/554b3d16b4c905cd2c8b48d7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Physical examination
• Inspection (asymmetrical or fullness at certain areas of
abdomen)
• Palpation – – measure the SF height (whether it corresponds to date)
– assess number of fetal poles
– grip palpation to assess fetal lie and presentation
– leopold maneuvers
– palpation of pelvic brim might reveal an empty pelvis
– assess adequacy of liqour
– Estimate fetal weight
• Vaginal examination- can be empty or other parts
besides fetal head.
![Page 32: Abnormal lie & presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052215/554b3d16b4c905cd2c8b48d7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Leopold’s maneuver
![Page 33: Abnormal lie & presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052215/554b3d16b4c905cd2c8b48d7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Investigations
• Ultrasound scan
- to rule out any fetal anomalies and assess amount of
liqour)
- to check for the presentation and lie of the fetus
• MOGTT – for gestational diabetes
![Page 34: Abnormal lie & presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052215/554b3d16b4c905cd2c8b48d7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Management
• Caesarean section is the form of delivery
• Well planned vaginal delivery may be attempted
– in cases of abnormal cephalic presentations e.g. face
• External cephalic version: maneuvering infant to a vertex
position (only if breech is diagnosed before onset of
labour).
