“…Hyperextension has been associated with several fetal complications such as spinal cord lesions, vertebral injury and intrauterine death (Taylor, 1948). Caterini et a1 (1975) in a survey of the literature formed the opinion that an X-ray examination of all breech presentations in early labour was necessary, not only for pelvimetry but also to determine the attitude of the fetal head and suggested that, in cases of hyperextension of the fetal head, Caesarean section should be the management of choice.…”

“…Fetal malposition, such as face or brow presentation or in utero opisthotonos or 'flying fetus', may render the fetus vulnerable to unphysiological force (Knowlton, 1938;Melody, 1948;Taylor, 1948). Likewise, congenital vertebral anomalies may predispose to injury (Foderl, 1931;Zellweger, 1945).…”
