## Overview

[edit | edit source]

Presentation in Obstetrics refers to the relationship between the leading fetal part and the pelvic inlet: cephalic, breech, or shoulder presentation. A malpresentation is an abnormal (non-vertex) presentation.

## Types of Presentations

[edit | edit source]

Thus the various presentations are:

* Cephalic (Head first):
* Vertex--commonest and associated with least complications
* Sinciput (forehead)
* Brow (Eye brows)
* Face
* Chin

* Breech presentation[1] (Baby is oriented up-side-down with mother standing):
* Complete breech
* Footling breech
* Frank breech
