  • Title: Assessment of computed tomographic pelvimetry within a selective breech presentation management protocol.
    Author: Gimovsky ML, O'Grady JP, Morris B.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 1994 Jul; 39(7):489-91. PubMed ID: 7966034.
    Abstract:
    A vital component of selective protocols in term breech presentation management is exclusion of the gravida with borderline pelvic dimensions. Computed tomographic (CT) pelvimetry was employed to evaluate potential candidates for a trial of labor with a breech fetus at term. Thirty-seven of 39 women who underwent labor after this selection had a successful assisted vaginal breech delivery. Adequate pelvic dimensions by CT pelvimetry reliably predicted a safe vaginal delivery in patients managed within a standard breech protocol.
