title: [The course of labor in intrauterine fetal death].
abstract: The results of the course of birth in 71 intrauterine cases of foetal death are presented. There were spontaneous deliveries in 82% of the cases and in 4% a vacuum extraction was performed. The relatively high rate (14%) of Caesarean sections was in most cases, due to maternal indication. The introduction of prostaglandins was a significant progress factor in birth induction of these disturbed pregnancies. All 36 patients (51%) were treated with sulprostone (mostly intravenously). Furthermore, intrapartal, directly postpartal complications and complications of early puerperium are discussed.
